Keep the Ship of State Rocking

Like ostriches, politicians bury their heads While homeless, starving families go unfed Voters see the game, know how it's played Upheaval awaits on election day Say what? You're not registered to vote? Then watch those special interests gloat They'll gather allies, give 'em poll rides A sad kiss goodbye, Democracy's demise With broken links in freedom's chain Politics will stay the same Use your brain, don't refrain Send incumbents down the drain Socialism's come a knocking Don't put your freedom up for hocking Vote with me, brother, set the ship of state rocking Say, "We're the free world; we'll take no mocking" *Entry for the "Politically Educated" contest
