Election integrity
Just what could that mean?
Has been a few elections
Since much of that we've seen
Been all about the parties
And the people they have sent
Not much about the voters
Democracy has come and went
The voters don't go to the polls
What good would their vote do?
Candidates follow money
Do not wear the voters' shoes
When an ethical and caring man
Or woman comes our way
The money does not follow
What good are they to pay?
The country's needs they may address
Regardless how the rich may feel
For the capitalistic elitists
Would not be the best of deals
Money buys the media
Was there ever any doubt?
When money meets integrity
That's what it's all about
If many give a little
To support the honest few
Something good could happen
It's the least that we could do
To the voters I have this to say
If someone caring comes along
Give them a little and cast your vote
To stay away would be so wrong
