Politicians, Partisans, And Parasites

Politicians, Partisans, And Parasites


Verse 1

Politicians are liars

Partisans are despised

Parasites are feared

They’re all one in the same

They say voting is a privilege

But if you dare to disagree

With your colleagues

You’ll be labelled as a parasite

Shaking hands and holding babies

Is part of America’s greater good

Attack your opponent and you’ll be seen

As a champ or a parasite


Verse 2

Politicians are deceptive

Partisans are sell-outs

Parasites are nasty

They’re all one in the same

They say if you protest a war

You’re unpatriotic

If they had their way

You’d be tried for treason

Distorting facts

And appearing on Sunday morning talk shows

Is part of America’s greater good

Sling dirt at your opponent

You’ll be seen as a champ or a parasite

 

Bridge 1

Be born into a dynasty

Or graduate from law school

If you’re not fortunate enough

Get an image makeover

From the pros at Madison Avenue

 

Bridge 2

Is your sign an elephant or donkey?

Does your colour speak for your needs?

Assassinate your opponent

You’ll be seen as a champ or a parasite


Chorus 1

The White House is filled with dark secrets

The senate believes it can create every law

The House of Representatives looks out for themselves

Politicians, partisans, and parasites must be avoided

 

Chorus 2

The White House is filled with dark secrets

The senate believes it can create every law

The House of Representatives looks out for themselves

As the people remain silent

I found the hot pink color here very nice. Is this your favorite color? Although I believe this a one-sided argument. Many politicians are not unlike the majority of the populace, though I haven't looked at it much, modern political realms seem very similar to modern hospitals, rather bleak in outlook yes I surely agree
