Some criminals run numbers, others run for office. Governance 101 by Toxic Bears explores the flawed personalities and dodgy dealings of provincial politicians. Use your vote wisely, these shifty characters are closer than you might think.
lyrics
Taking it all (I want you, work for me)
Choosing who wins, another close call
It's supreme (so high, it's ecstasy)
Feelin' like this, livin' the dream
None shall succeed (sip the cup, taste for me)
You'll rise up, they'll stay in need
Do it for me (bow down, show fealty)
I won't forget...
You keep quiet
Jetsetter
Dire days in the park
Dead letter
This, is governance 101
Truth, perception is reality
Here, there's nothing that can't be spun
You're, society's malady
Taking a fall (it's your fault, we're not through)
Cover it up, clean overhaul
Can you supply (chew on this, good for you)
Your message is mine, my hand on her thigh
Eye on the prize (when you flee, I pursue)
Restoring myself, ignoring the cries
Who will believe (from your vow, no review)
I am beset...
Sssssh
Foreign envoy
Bathed in the red light
Blade poised
This, is governance 101
Truth, perception is reality
Here, there's nothing that can't be spun
You're, society's malady
Heavy sweater
Anxious stints in the dark
Don't forget her
