Just To Get Elected

Is there nothing they wont do
The depths that they'll sink to
Moral hypocrisy they'll let loose
Underhanded that they will use

Just to get elected...

Lies that they perceive
Putting dirty in the dirty deeds
Nothing at that they wont sneeze
Open Hell's gates and set them free

Just to get elected...

Tell us what we want to hear
Playing off our biggest fears
The headlights to our road deer
Always sounding so sincere 

Just to get elected...

Tell us that they do but don't
Tell us that they will but won't
All in hopes they don't get caught
Never ever taking fault

Just to get elected...

Digging up the buried past 
20-30 years at best
Never giving it a rest
Is this what we're left with

Just to get elected...

It's not like we have not been warned
They're the early birds and we're the worms
As they tell us no need to be alarmed
They mean us no physical harm

Just to get elected...

Remember this is the dating game
What you see is the well behaved
All I've got to say is just you wait
There's a big difference between do and say

With the elected...

Cheryl Hoffman October 10, 2016 at 8:43 AM I feel like the presidency is just kind of like being a puppet with a Gepetto behind the curtain pulling the strings, (aka the oligarchy)…Another goodie Mike!:)

Daniel Turner October 10, 2016 at 8:13 AM Mike, every time I see either one of them I want to hurl. I'm sick of all the crap. We already know who the next pres. is going to be, just put her in there and be done with it. Perhaps in 4 years we'll get a better choice.
