Republican and Democrats In War

You say you hate the Democratic way

They say with another Bush we won’t make it another day

You say but you’d rather have an unchristian Muslim in his place

They say you spread false rumors in lies are upon your face

At a fresh 18 years, I realized this is a civil war based of conflicting fears

Republicans say screw unemployment and welfare, we work hard and so should they for 
their share

Democrats say liberal change is what we need; don’t take hand in republican greed

I said cant we all just sit down and talk this over in a civilized fashion

Both sides said this is the war of politics and there is no compassion

they said pick a side you’re a man now, then pitched their plans and started promoting

I said f—ck the both of you I’m not v0ting.
