Democracy

Hypocrisy, hypocrisy
The bane of our democracy
What politicians really fear
Is other politicians near
Who’ll tell each what he wants to hear
And gobble up my votes, oh dear!
I’ve got to beat them to the punch
So when the voting’s in the crunch
They won’t be eating me for lunch
But how to guarantee a win
I know that lying is a sin
It’s not a lie, it’s simply spin
And justified to keep me in
More contributions I must get
From members of the monied set
For favors that I won’t forget
Those TV adds just pile on debt
I’ve got to knock opponents out
My donors give me all the clout
A smear campaign, what it’s about
Down in the muck I’ll rub their snout
And when I win, I’ll do and state
Just what my Party does relate
And praise the Lord for this, my fate
And for democracy so great
