Song Description
Its about how the politicians in this country make a career out of selling the poor to the rich. Democrat and Republican alike, they are both guilty. We are given a sham choice, and its a bit akin to a good cop/bad cop scam.

Lyrics
Partisan Class
Verse 1
You might have started out with a desire to make the world bright,
But once the deep pockets paid your way you had to do what they thought right.
You turn a blind eye to the things they do since the people never know,
And you turn,
And you turn your eyes away till you don't care what is right any more.
Verse 2
Your politics wont change a thing while you keep your pockets full.
(You're) a partisan two party system that just worships the cash flow.
It doesn't really matter what side you're on,
In the end its all the same any more.
Chorus/Bridge
You say you've got our best in mind, but I think your lying.
I say you've wasted too much time to pretend your trying.
You alone have sold us out you're the army of the rich,
And these cowards pretend they're our kings while the slowly the ditch for us all.
