Dm A Dm
Politicians make promises that they can’t keep
Dm A
They keep printin’ money ‘till they get in way too deep
Dm
It’s the same old lesson, they never learn,

They’re too busy workin’ on their next term
Dm A Dm
Politicians keep makin’ fools out of you and me

The son of God who created you and I

He said it in the Good Book with letters in red
Gm
But we keep on forgettin’ every thing He said
Dm A Dm
Jesus Christ hung on the cross for you and I
[Chorus]
Dm Gm
It’s been that way since the git go,
Gm Dm
It’s been that way since the git go
Dm Gm
Well, it’s been that way since the git go,
