Election Time

(Sung to Heralder - Falkenbach)

From a miasma of lies and steaming piles of bullshit,
'twas once more Election Time in November,
Where -ists and -ians and 'crats and 'cans waged a war for power,
And hoped the people wouldn't remember,
The pundits cast their scabrous dice with visages very altered,
Through the TV and other digital media,
To finally reach the electorate who put on a very good show,
So that many even looked like they cared.

Their alleged positions were out there for all the people to see,
And PR was there for needed spin control
On air was the blood money they were a-shittin' and ad hom it was great!,
To guide through the halls of power.
They had come to plight their troth in hopes to represent,
To be conveyed to the sheeple masses,
And they told about the rich ones, scoffing at the laws,
So they'd make them pay their fair share!.

So the machines and ballots were set up to embrace the electorate and call to them.
Meanwhile the pundits vomited out their last predictions while CNN and Fox warred...
Soon the news vultures commented on what was trending..
And by seven in the evening, the choices had been cast.
And vote totals were shed like diarrhea from the ill,
As the Sheeple awaited the results...

Acrimony erupted as cheating was called across the US land,
And lawyers like vultures perching,
The chosen they screeched about our "Democracy" and that it was in peril!
Our FF's they were besmirching!
And a songbird was gone from where he belittled,
For over thirty years,
And replaced by Jon so anointed,
When Trump was amongst and GOP led their hearts
Into a place of incognito....

That night the losers were gathering
And made promises in digital blood,
that they would be back in two more years,
And sacrificial goats collected chits in remorse,
To save themselves from being in arrears,
Known as the election cycle in this strong Republic born
It attracts the sane and deranged
But all this shit for nothing
because nothing had really changed!
