President Jack

Our leaders aren't crooked enough

I Voted for a congressman 

who promised I'd get laid

Sent his a*s to Washington 

That blowhard's getting paid

Saw him on the FOX network 

just braying like a mule

I voted for that idiot

He played me for a fool 

I'm sick of all the sellout w****s

passing for electorate

The next time I stuff a ballot box

I'm voting for a pirate

An eye patch wearing peg leg pirate

and all he says is "arrrg" 

That's what we need in Washington

Put captain Hook in charge 

Make Billy Bones a senator 

let wenches roam the streets

pack the house with drunken sailors

who serve the motley fleets

A treasury of gold doubloons 

packed in a dead man's chest

Thrown over board to Davy Jones

The locker he possessed

A new world foreign policy

of looting coastal towns

Start paying off their parliaments 

With rum and pistol rounds 

Round up all the fat cat leaders

and make them walk the plank 

We can keel haul congressmen 

across the old gangplank 

Vote Captain Jack for President 

I think he's slightly gay

We're being run by criminals 

It's turning out that way 

Author's Note

Pirates. Why not.

Oh, so sad and so true. At least with a pirate you know what your getting. The packaging matches the expectations. Politics is nothing but smoke, mirrors and of course piracy:

I'm sick of all the sellout w****s

The next time I stuff a ballot box
I'm voting for a pirate
