Double Zero


One man, one vote
Listen to the double zero 
poll echo

One man, one vote
is power transition farcical
A national joke

One man, one vote
is very unpopular electoral
Lever pull okey-doke

One man, one vote
was a woman suffrage hoax
A muzzle masterstroke

One man, one vote
Con-stitutional pipe smokers
took a fake vapor toke

One man, one vote of very lil’ jolt
Alternate current voices
got a direct party line swing nope

One man, one vote
Poll echo tally count double zero
Sum abacus croak

One man, one vote
Majority honk indignation
got a carny clown soak

One man, one vote
Popular gripe concession
twas a ballot tear choke

One man, one vote
be a lost bleat, pearly poll wee echo
Uno shuffle double zero

One man, one cell vote
sorely received the Bilk-o freedom cry
A Trump card eye poke

One man, one vote ~ Democracy false hope
Mandela truth was a pauper lie
Just like that rich Joker bloke crying broke
