SYMBOLISM 'N SEMANTICS

By: Cedric McClester

 

They’re the party of wealth

Unconcerned with the health

Of the economy

Relative to you and me

The situation’s getting frantic

Still they’re up to their old antics

Of symbolism ‘n semantics

Symbolism ‘n semantics

 

The problem is gigantic

In fact it’s transatlantic

His approach is sycophantic

But they are quite pedantic

Is he being too romantic

As they come with their semantics

Their symbolism ‘n semantics

Symbolism ‘n semantics

 

They’ve tried to pass a bill

Over there up on the hill

But despite the public will

They keep arguing it still

They’re complaining ‘bout the pork

But haven’t put down their fork

So we’ll have to wait

But the hour’s getting late

 

The problem is gigantic

In fact it’s transatlantic

His approach is sycophantic

But they are quite pedantic

Is he being too romantic

As they come with their semantics

Their symbolism ‘n semantics

Symbolism ‘n semantics

 

It seems they have a crush

On a pill popper named Rush

Who someone should tell hush

And stop talking so **** much

By hoping that he fails

While we lay on the rails

He’s blowin wind up their sails

So how did he avoid our jails

 

The problem is gigantic

In fact it’s transatlantic

His approach is sycophantic

But they are quite pedantic

Is he being too romantic

As they come with their semantics

Their symbolism ‘n semantics

Symbolism ‘n semantics

 

They voted millions down the drain

In a war that was insane

But now hear them complain

Instead of trying to ease our pain

Their politics remains the same

But we made our selection

Where were they the last election

Cos it changed the whole complexion

With a call for redirection

 

The problem is gigantic

In fact it’s transatlantic

His approach is sycophantic

But they are quite pedantic

Is he being too romantic

As they come with their semantics

Their symbolism ‘n semantics

Symbolism ‘n semantics
