Hey! Anybody got a guitar?

Don’t Trust Them As Far As You Can Throw Them

The candidates are on the TV pleading
for a chance to get my allegiance and my vote
they try to tell me why they are the only guy
or girl who has the stuff to bring me hope

They offer inspiration and a vision
just what that vision is ain’t always clear
with analogies and metaphors abundant
you’d think they were an ale and not light beer

(chorus)
Don’t trust them as far as you can throw ’em
Don’t trust them no matter who they are
Don’t trust them as far as you can throw ’em
And it seems we cannot throw them very far
Yes it seems we cannot throw them very far

Lobbyists are paid to make a dollar
and DC is a fine company town
the doors there are always revolving
like a carousel that goes around and ’round

Laws are made to help promote justice
but justice is blind and cannot see
she can only stand by sorta helpless
while others auction off our liberty

(chorus)
Don’t trust them as far as you can throw ’em
Don’t trust them no matter who they are
Don’t trust them as far as you can throw ’em
And it seems we cannot throw them very far
Yes it seems we cannot throw them very far

If somebody inspires you to action
and you hold them in the highest regard
savor that warm and fuzzy feeling
but keep an eye on how they deal the cards

A follower used to have it easy
just clap and sing your praises to the sky
nowadays that will not cut the mustard
nowadays that shit just doesn’t fly

(chorus)
Don’t trust them as far as you can throw ’em
Don’t trust them no matter who they are
Don’t trust them as far as you can throw ’em
And it seems we cannot throw them very far
Yes it seems we cannot throw them very far
