The Road To Winning An Election
Show them you're a sent-from-heaven Saint
In speeches tell them things that really ain't
Don't be thoughtfully acute
Just politically astute
Smear yourself with patriotic paint
Show concern for all the varied classes
The upper, middle and the lower masses
The populace would flourish
There'd be no under-nourished
Life's promise would be sweeter than molasses
Your opponent isn't quite at all respectable
He should be shown as easily reject-able
Please don't tempt our fate
With this devil incarnate
Cast your vote to make him non-electable
As Head of State you'd do our country's leading
You'd put an end to all our country's bleeding
Get them all to reckon
You're at our country's beckon
A vote your way is what our country's needing
BUT
They politicize un-truths with great dexterity
They shrewdly craft what's pledged with much temerity
They'll say anything to win
So, don't be suckered in
By their propaganda lying insincerity
We're pummeled with their half-truths and whole lies
Most veracity cloaked in false disguise
With bloated oratories
They float their phony stories
And contribute to society's demise
