Elections,
it would seem to me
Are
serious concernsOn each and every ballot
A country’s future turns
It
may embrace a tyrant
Or
elevate a foolFor politics encourages
The crafty and the cruel
Altruists,
in this career
Must
pay a higher priceIt has a way of preying on
The noble and the nice
And
every politician
Who
thinks their star is risingCan be a little pompous
And a bit self-aggrandizing
So
waiting for a paragon
I
find a wee bit stunningAs if you didn’t know by now
Pope Francis isn’t running
The
message that I have today
Simplistic
as it soundsTed Cruz is not the Steelers
And Kasich ain’t the Browns
If
we don’t want to find ourselves
In
East and West BerlinsIt’s how the nation chooses
Not which contender wins
I
don’t care where which one was born
Or
has aggressive minionsOr has as many mistresses
As others have opinions
Let’s get back to the issues
Before it gets to late
It’s not as if we don’t have
Lots of issues on our plate
No,
you don’t have to pay me
I’ll
just give you my adviceIf we don’t figure this out fast
We’ll pay a dreadful price.
