Presidential Candidates On T.V.

Would - be 
leaders
   appear on 
the screen
   the masses 
are treated to quite a show
let the motion of the moon
    guide us to 
  a peaceful 
  land
which we will 
   get to 
       if we 
decide to 
        dream together
Can these leaders 
      show us
what to dream?
 We need  electricity
   Electricity
   Elec - tri - city
and while the  lights of a thousand cities 
dance before our eye
the political machines 
roll on like ten wheel trailers!
