Who Could Deny You

Who could deny you? No one’s ever felt this way before Passing through the open door Shaking your fist, screaming How could you dare keep me out?! Solitarily unified And home at last Who could deny you? It’s your money after all Look at what you get For the mere price of your soul You never cared for it anyway So why should I pay for your name When they already bought it from you?! Who could deny you? Can’t argue the price of freedom Campaign your slogan Tissues come free with your vote To remove the spit from your eye Punch a hole and pull the trigger We’re going to be missing the man before him Who could deny you? Wisdom comes with the years But still never outgrow childish ignorance Standing firmly upon the Bible, with the budget on top of it How dare you think God cares for your four walls! He’s waiting outside in the street While you poll your votes to let Him in Who could deny you? Beauty queen standing tall in the center of the stage Angle the camera, tint the mirrors, keeps us on the good side Hand’s as hollow as her heart Twenty-ninth time’s the charm Wait for the crickets If you want violins But who could ever deny you?
