Paroles: Grand Funk Railroad. Politician.

Mr. Politician, please don't deceive us
Mr. Politician, you're there to relieve us
Just how can we tell, mister
When to believe in you

Oh, won't you tell me, oh, who we're lookin' out for?
Mr. Politician could be perfect but, people, it's doubtful
We want a leader who'll fight for the people
We want somebody to take us to the steeple

We'd like to point him out to you people
But don't look now

Mr. Politician, please don't deceive us
Mr. Politician, you're there to relieve us
Just how can we tell, mister
When to believe in you

We want a leader for the people
We want him honest, not deceitful
We want an angel in the public eye
And we won't give it up, Lord, until we die

Mr. Politician, please don't deceive us
Mr. Politician, you're there to relieve us
Just how can we tell, mister
When to believe in you
