Political Season Lyrics

Here we go again with political season

Good folks seem to lose all reason

Red vs. blue, blue vs. red

At the cost of the red, white, and blue

Priorities get all out of whack

Friendships forsaken for political hacks

Family reunions feature brother against brother

As if there were much difference from oneside to the other

The Washington fat cats earned less than oil field drillers

But managed to retire with four homes and millions of dollars

Something about that math just don't add up

Somebody smarter than me said power corrupts

I won't hold your vote against you a treason

I promise not to accuse

Fact is the only way I'll know your vote is if you tell me

And then all you'll get is a good-for-you

Who I voted for or if I did is just for me

And no, I really don't care what you believe

There's a reason we have secret ballots

And it's not so you can shout about it

Do you really think they give a crap

About you or me or some other sap

They couldn't care less about my chickens or your eggs

They're on free vacation sippin' wine, not tappin' Kegs

Their pockets are lined with lobbyist dollars

While ours are empty to fund empty promises

We need to stop voting for all those smooth-talkers

And vote in folks like us who'll step aside without walkers

I won't hold your vote against you

Of treason I promise not to accuse

Fact is the only way I'll know your vote is if you tell me

And then all you'll get is a good-for-you

Who I voted for or if I did is just for me

And no, I really don't care what you believe

There's a reason we have secret ballots

And it's not so you can shout about it

Do you really think they give a crap

About you or me or some other sap

They couldn't care less about my chickens or your eggs

They're on free vacation sippin' wine, not tappin' Kegs

Their pockets are lined with lobbyist dollars

While ours are empty to fund empty promises

We need to stop voting for all those smooth-talkers

And vote in folks like us who'll step aside without walkers
