You put the whole world In his tiny greedy hands! Is he the type of leader Who truly understands? Or does he dole out money To friends who are foes? Do really want to quietly wait And see just how it goes? Are you just fine with Your head in the sand? What will it take to see This country is out of hand? Will you be satisfied With half the planet corrupted As long as you have beer and The football game uninterrupted? Did you stop learning When you were thirteen What lack of due process Can ultimately come to mean? Did sleep through the classes when The Constitution was taught? Or will you blame Obama For what your ignorance cost? Then will you ***** and moan When things don’t go your way And go vote for some actor As long as its not a black or gay? Will you wave your Bible then, The one you have never read, When a modern Armageddon Come crashing down on our heads. Do you think this government Is of the people or of the rich? Do you find yourself calling liberals A stupid, shameless sonofabitch When they try to wake you up That you have elected a cult With members countrywide That are robbing us as a result? Are you just fine with Your head in the sand? What will it take to see This country is out of hand? Will you be satisfied With half the planet corrupted As long as you have beer and The football game uninterrupted?

PLEA TO PUDDINHEADS
