I'M Cynical Towards Polly

Polly is in politics Convinced herself she's great Though it's tough to find benevolence Whilst sifting through the hate Polly has a message Polly has a creed The only thing Polly does not have A strong defense towards greed So Polly eats the pill She drinks elixir too Now Polly's good for nothing Except reaping rights from you As long as Polly's seat's secure Her thoughts are sure to be impure She'll levy taxes, flex her might Your first born is probably in her sights The lobbyists control her She's their girl more than ours Standing tall as their lieutenant As the people fight the powers Now totalitarian in nature Absolute power is her goal The only thing more wretched Is the state of Polly's soul Polly wanted to enact change To love something she grew What Polly never factored Money has agendas too A fallen political player Someone fresh at any rate How quickly a people's champion Became an enemy of the states
