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 ma**es With believable lies When's the middle cla** 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
