Characterization

Our two party system isn’t working Plastic figures, disaster lurking Conservative or liberal isn’t the call It’s the ultra rich against us all For the people is what it’s not All candidates have already been bought Platforms built on promises and lies Hear the people, ignore their cries Wave that flag as if you’re proud Then bow and worship the corporate crowd You no longer serve, you’re out of place You are an elitist group, a public disgrace You’ve subsidized the rich with your insanity Then crippled the growth of humanity You’ve killed our children in endless war The media smiles and keeps the score We sing of amber waves of grain You’d sell it all for personal gain You left our budget in disarray You’ll tax our grandchildren for it someday No water boarding terrorists you warn Then murder a child who is still unborn You have no ethics, you have no shame You have no morals, you accept no blame Washington is a place I’m told Where politicians are bought and sold Where dreams and ideals are destroyed A city where honesty is null and void A place where hope has been dethroned You won’t get nominated unless you’re owned A place where once” In God we trust” Now we look in sheer disgust Country burning from your sparks You replaced Uncle Sam with Karl Marx Our nominees we cannot select The media decides who we elect. Politicians with great orations Puppets to the corporations.
