This game that politicians play,
this petty strife, this war;
they do not know how it affects us,
and that it lasts forevermore.

This game that politicians teach,
this fight, this battle, this attack;
the young children know no better,
and so their hearts turn black.

This game that politicians have,
this farce, this folly, this ruse;
it rages today, tomorrow, now
and it gave our country a bruise.
