Self Elected Puppets

Where are the medicine men and women we could always trust Have they all disappeared turned into dust Replaced by snake oil salesmen dishing out pills Hear the ringing of their over filled tills And the despot leaders who elect themselves Spoon feed on lust,greed,deception Glorifying themselves with royal reception Raping and draining the citizens who had no say in their election Where are the surgeons to perform their dissection Where is the democracy in picket lines in choosing between heating or eating, Sanctioning your own citizens all based on a lie filling their minds with fantastic illusion And the bear doesn't care.
