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
