Reply to Kosh's Shadow in 14: (needs to be rewritten for today)
I am just a voter and my story’s often told How I squandered my resistance For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises All lies and jest Still a man hears what he wants to hear And disregards the rest
When I voted for Barak Obama I was no more than a boy In the company of Democrats In the quiet of the voting booth voting scared Against Bush, no more armies for the right Where the neo-cons would fight Keeping America from the blight
Lie lie lie, lie lie lie lie lie lie lie
Asking only workman’s wages I come looking for a job But I get no offers Just a come-on from the whores at the Acorn office I do declare, there were times I was so lonesome I took some comfort there
Lie lie lie, lie lie lie lie lie lie lie
Then I’m laying out my winter clothes And wishing I was warm Getting warm Where the global warming leaders aren’t freezing me Freezing me, getting cold
In the clearing stands a voter And a dumbass by his vote And we carry the reminders Of how health care made us choke And he realized as he cried out In his anger and his shame “I am voting Republican” But Obama still remains
Lie lie lie, lie lie lie lie lie lie lie
