Sheep

Every four to eight years , 
                               they all bark change..
                                   But all I see ,
                     is the Oval Office chairs rearranged..

                          Reform seems to be a word, 
                            they speak in their sleep.
                              And all we are to do,
                               is follow as sheep.. 

                               A campaign of lies,
                                will win your vote.
                                now he's elected, 
                             and you are the goat..

                             For the middle class,
                             it will be easy street.
                             A road paved in gold,
                        for only one percent to reap..

                          If you really want a voice,
                               I do have a plan.
                          Give all the house seats, 
                            to the working man..

                               A life time job,
                        this was not meant to be.
                      Why should rich people know,
                            what is best for me ..
