Insanity Rules

Insanity rules

The world at hand

All the politicians Know

It's the law of the land

They promise us this

And promise us that

We work our lives away

Their bank accounts get fat

This is supposed democracy

The great American way

But it really is a game

Politicians know how to play

They really are like insects

Watch out for the stinger

All they really want for us

Is to stay under their finger

The election was like a circus

Complete with a big ol clown

The only thing that was missing

Was the silly carnival sound

Is this what we've come to

We're always treated as fools

Cause when the politicians speak

We know insanity rules
