Must We Have a Party

Must We Have a Party By Franklin Price 12/14/2015 Must we have a party? What is all this fuss? When we're Asses and Elephants We're missing the bus They're menageries of thinking In ourselves we must trust To fix what's going on We must think it's a must Conservatives and Liberals All part of the game To keep us thumb under They don't know our names Mixed in a crock pot All simmered the same Eat us when we're done Don't you think that is lame? What happened to freedom? We've lost all control Sold ourselves to the parties Gave our bodies and souls Might be too late Says the latest of polls They're dipping us out Into large serving bowls Wait just a minute We should stand and not sit Jump out of the pot Think for ourselves just a bit Cook them and serve them The fire's now lit And once we digest them Flush them down and don't quit
