President Elect

PRESIDENT ELECT - Written by Carroll Bryant


I am one of the people
I have the right not to vote 
For any of the creeps who want to represent me
But what choices do I have?
It's a matter of fact that no matter who you choose
We all lose

It used to be that all you ever needed
To be a president was humanity
But now all you need is a degree in insanity
And or lunacy 
Can't you see?
That a president only becomes a president
On the basis of somebody else's election
And a president isn't a president
Until they pass somebody else's inspection

Can't you see?

Didn't you ever wonder how they count those votes so fast?
Do their computers ever make errors?
What's up with that?
What's the deal?

It used to be that all you ever needed
To be a president was sincerity 
But now it seems that all you need is a scheme
In an animated dream
Can't you see?
That a president only becomes a president
On the basis of somebody else's description
And a president isn't a president
Until they submit to somebody else's prescription

Can't you see?

I thought we were the people
Of the people
For the people 
By the people

You are people
I am people

Maybe I'm wrong, but .... 

Standing in the shadows live ulterior motives
A shady disposition by a shadier face
 Political parties misrepresenting
Embarrassing my country 
A total disgrace

A total failure

 It used to be that all you ever needed
To be a president was honesty
But now all you need is a degree in cosmetology
And or hypocrisy
Can't you see?
That a president only becomes a president
On the basis of somebody else's exclusion
And a president isn't a president
Until they make somebody else's decision

Can't you see?

I have the right not to vote
For any of the creeps that want to represent me
