Chewed Up and Spit Out

The biggest mess I've ever seen was taking bribes while living a dream The exchange of money for confidence When seen so sure the competence But suddenly there goes something wrong Abilities to change was taken from No favorability while decisions are deals Deception in progress while we grease the wheels Two billion doller's paid in advance Presidential powers pushing at glance But assumptions made were suddenly wrong and promises became words in a sad song Gone were powers suddenly bereft Four years of favor suddenly left The feeling of cheated suddenly crept The panic and fears of suddenly the quest of those feeling that they were CHEWED and left less Imagine the consequences that they already have And to steal an election is only the half The only defence they'll ever have is self defence And they already have It was done by saying "I've done nothing wrong." But in truth taking the bribe made you already wrong.
