Election Year Lyrics

It's election year
And the circus is in town
It's time to pick a winner from
The line of clowns
They tell stories
They do tricks
You thought it was a joke
But it's politics
Republican or Democrat
You're the same to me
Back stabbing, blame shifting
Political parties
Did you buy your stance
At a speech writer's store?
'Cause it's a fresh suit and smile
But I've heard it all before
Who will be our leader
In the four years to come?
And who will follow after when
The damage is done?
Who will do their duty?
Who will do their job?
Who will let us know When we've all been robbed?
Corruption is the way
They get things done
Don't you know it's how
The West was won
If there is a good man
Who won't be bought
I bet my bottom dollar
That he'll end up shot
They pacify the masses
With believable lies
When's the middle class
Gonna realize
That we pay our taxes
So candidates can dine
They do lunch
While we stand in line
So make your promises
And say your speeches
Time will tell
And history teaches
The moment's coming up
The time is drawing near
I guess we'll know the truth
After election year
