I WANNA BE ELECTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Political satire. Kinda my thing. Christ you should know that by now.

I wanna run for congressman 

A quick cash avenue

Just send me up to Washington 

and I'll get paid off too

I'll need dump trucks full of money

Driven by fundraisers 

Hey baby check my super PAC

Big money instigators 

I'll wrap myself in old glory

United States Marine

Running on my service record

My midterm trampoline 

I'll run a mud sling ad campaign 

Smear my opponent's name

I'll say they're liberal pedophiles

and witch craft is their game 

I'll shake my fist at the elite

I'll say it's all their fault

America has been sold out

To fill their secret vault

I'll put spin on negative press

I'll say they've all been bought 

They're all secret Russian agents

Part of a Kremlin plot 

I'll pound the bible podium 

They buy it in the sticks 

I'll testify to justify 

my votes from inbred hicks 

The people are just mindless cogs

I'll use to retrofit 

There's big bucks up in Washington 

I wanna piece of it 

I wanna ride that gravy train 

Straight to pay day station 

With special interest ATM'S

to buy my legislation 

The people are just slot machines

to fund embezzlements

I just have to keep pretending 

For my constituents 

 Elect Ricochet to congress

I'll claim to represent 

Soon as I'm sworn into office

The people can get bent

Elected, selected.. all the way to.. .. ! Said before you'd be great in politics, probably cos you know how to stir things up, hornet that you are! Think this touch of satire or if preferred - tongue in cheek p*** taking about them 'up there', certainly sides with the out of work/out of pocket/out of home readers/electorate to the nth degree. I like.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you Emma
