Home On the Range

Oh give me a home where there are no drones,
where the Democrats and Republicans play,
where seldom is heard a debate that isn't too absurd,
while they try to keep Wikileaks and e-mails at bay,

Home, home on the range,
where the Democrats and Republicans are basically clay,
where seldom is heard a speech written by a nerd,
while the oligarchy are having a field day,

With too many jobs shipped oversea"s,
the middle class once again have an urgent plea,
not for another speech or a clone,
but to create more manufacturing jobs here at home,

While America goes through yet another phase,
we used to be a Republic back in our heyday,
we definitely need more capitalism it is clear,
so please Mr. President stick to your words and don't switch gears.
