Promises, promises. The politician will promise anything to give him power but here he finds himself in an empty ballroom except for the band on stage. The scene is lit with the intermittent light from a mirror ball. The politician is dancing with a beautiful woman. The woman is his conscience and his real self. Every time they take a circle of the floor the mirror ball throws light on her face and each time it grows progressively more ugly until she is a decaying corpse.
Vote for me?
Vote for Me
For your loved ones and all your family
Can't you see, how it could be?
Vote for me
For the children and the old folks
Can't you see, how it could be?
I'll put more bobbies on the beat
I'll make it safe to walk the street
I'll do everything I can
Just to help my fellow man
You will get your money's worth
I'll make a heaven here on earth
Can't you see, how it could be?
Vote for me
I'm gonna pave the city streets with gold you see
I'll bring peace across the world, you wait and see
You'll never have it quite so good
Impotent men will then have wood
Forget about your cares
You'll all be f****** millionaires
Vote for me
My policies will make your baby cry
I'll bleed you until you are bone dry
We'll all be singing in the rain
The country's going down the drain
I've come to buy your soul
So let the good times roll
Can't you see, how it could be?
