We are handed a ballot
our choices all there
It's our freedom they say ...
to take it from here
Raised to believe we live so free
But seeing right through it ...
I don't agree
What angers me most
what bothers me so
Is how they stand there and lie
like we're too dumb to know
Expected to skip off & vote
to be thankful for the choice
It's a "gift" from our country
to have such a voice
Who are they fooling
They can't be serious, right?
They take all our money
send our love ones to fight
They trick us with lies...
a game of who lies the best
Leave us with little
To fight for the rest
Each promises the world
To fight for us all
But time after time each drops the ball
They all desperately try to recruit for their team
Ask that we hear what their saying ...
to envision their dream
They ask that you rally...
put signs in your yard
They swear they are different
ask that we let down our guard
They want our help...
ask we donate money to the cause
Forced to pretend their not lying
Andto overlook all the flaws
Once their elected
they forget the bull **** they fed
Now were stuck with these liars
And all that they said
And what do they care they are still rich as can be
We are back where we started
You know... Living so "FREE"
