See!


::

A bunch of ******* actors
Pretending to be politicians


_


Hear !


::

The ******* actors
Pretending to be politicians

Pretending to know

The history of AMERICA

And what it's true values are !

( geez / who cudda guessed ? )

----


Hey !


::

Now the ******* actors
Pretending to be politicians

Are asking us

To be in on it

And pretend to be citizens and

"Vote " for them !

( ain't dat swell ! )

NO !

--


And then the ******* actors
Pretending to politicians

Pretend to count the pretend vote

And one of them pretends to be president

And we pretend we care

And we all scream

HURRAY FOR DEMOCRACY !


::

And then it's over

And our REAL RULERS

hidden in the darkness

Resume enslaving us

And we become

Little slave laborers again

And the pretending is done
