We In Deep Trouble

I think we are in trouble
they are all in good spirits
something smells fishy to me

They smile and they tell you
they "will", fix it this time
give them your vote, and you'll see

Each one is claiming 
they are without question
so far above all reproach

They wave their credentials
and swear that they're honest 
they say they are no cockroach

They are doing some dueling
jockeying for position
all four maybe five that are left

If there is no indictment
by the Justice Department
the White House is guilty of theft

The American people are 
the ones that are cheated
a "new prez" won't help things at all

Millions are voting soon
good, bad or indifferent
it's too late to put up a wall

They'll be printed in languages 
that are foreign to most locals
the ballots will surely be lost

Count and recount them 
til they have what they wanted
for it must be their way at all cost.....
