I am awfully, awfully tired of politicking
I am exhausted by this contest to be King
it's all just so damn dreary
it makes one rather weary
do we really have to hear our Freedom ring?

In years that are quite odd we've crushed the planet
it doesn't matter who it was who ran it
but lest you have been sleeping
this year is one that's leaping
it's enough to make dear Jesus say goddamn it!

On one side, the one with too much money
the economic outlook is quite sunny
sending out their faxes
about cutting all the taxes
pretending God is not the Easter Bunny

Against all foes they rattle their big saber
might is right against our further neighbors
they sell it to their base
who are the master race
while reducing all their jobs into slave labor

The other side is similar yet different
they seem to want to help you pay the rent
reaching out to all the masses
while keeping separate classes
can sometimes make it seem that they are bent

The party of the people does what it pleases
doesn't have to say "god bless you" when you sneezes
all are free to disagree
and to burn eternally
they cannot stand for long on their weak kneeses

Now it is the season most pri-mary
when television pundits are most scary
everyone is in a lather
resulting in such blather
that what they say and mean are most contrary

It is not my intention to be cynical
free elections are the West atop its pinnacle
yet for all those who are in it
there's a sucker born each minute
all that heat and light are coldly clinical
