We Call It Democracy
I said I could
I meantof course
I couldn’t
I said I would
But of course meant
I wouldn’t
The party said
I should
But naturally
I said I shouldn’t
What is it of which I speak
Naturally it is
To tell the truth
But how can I
Change my tune
Why change my life
When everything I do
Is based on lies and lies
I’ll say I will
But mean I won’t
Whatever I say
Please me forgive
You see what I meant
A double negative
It make no sense
The truth is foreign
Foreign to me
I’m sure that you will agree
And no I never do regret
After all what did you expect
I’ve lied and cheated all my life
You’ll just have to accept
So don’t bother to plead
If you had been listening
You may well agree
I’ve never hidden the fact
That I’m driven by selfishness
Ego and greed
So suck it up
Put up with your plight
If me you finally elect
A serial liar in me
Well that’s hard luck
We call it democracy
Good post!
