Sin City Hosts the Democrats

Sin City hosts the Democrats
Who debate tomorrow night
The forum's in Las Vegas
Somehow that's only right
Candidates will play their cards
To show if they're all in
Spin the wheel and throw the dice
In hopes that they will win
To be the U.S. President
The leader of this land
Put on their poker faces
To show just where they stand
Play with our emotions
As they speak and verbalize
I hope that what we witness
Will not damage ears or eyes
As they answer questions asked
I'm sure often they will bluff
I hope no time I'm thinking
Finish now enough's enough
Hope no cards are up their sleeves
That there are no loaded dice
That civility is practiced
Now wouldn't that be nice
When the evening is all over
And candidates have left our view
If we feel that we're the losers
Would be the same and nothing new
If we feel that we're the winners
Or that we're somewhere in between
Maybe there is still some hope
I think you know just what I mean
