The Lesser Evil Parade

V6

Welcome to the election department. Your opinion matters. Please hold. Your estimated wait time is: Until the next election. The mailbox coughed up another miracle Wrapped in a glossy little bow "Guaranteed to fix your future" With a disclaimer down below The candidates are on the shelf now Limited edition, hand-picked names Some assembly required Batteries not included with change Welcome to the promise factory Where dreams come off the line Every product has a warranty That expires at voting time Pick your poison, choose your flavor Select your brand-new savior Low in facts, high in flavor Now with extra campaign behavior No refunds after ballots close No exchanges when the truth explodes Congratulations, you've received The government you hoped you'd need They sell us "common sense" in packages With a coupon for relief But the price keeps getting higher And the fine print's underneath They fix the broken window By painting over all the cracks Then send us a thank-you letter For paying for the repairs back The funny thing about the circus Is the clowns don't own the tent They just rent the makeup briefly While we cover the expense Pick your poison, choose your flavor Another year, another savior New coat of paint on an old machine Same rusty gears behind the scene But underneath the noise and laughter Under every campaign parade There's still a million people wondering When the promises get made Thank you for voting. Your concerns have been forwarded. Your concerns are currently experiencing a very comfortable retirement.
