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...
