Lying to You, Pt. 2

What the voters see on the shelves, it looks great,
and in this store, like others, you don't have to pay.
The government's Mastercard's bigger than yours,
But paying it off? That's what voters deplore.
Asking them to make payments gets us voted out.
Even thinking to mention it leads them to shout.
The late King of Camelot didn't see things this way.
He was honest about it, and noted to say
That you must serve your country before it serves you.
The public was listening. What did they do?
The cheered and paraded–and killed the man dead.
It's not even certain whose shot pierced his head.
We're the butt of your jokes when we don't tell the truth,
But the way to get in is by lying to you.
