ALL THE LIARS ARE NOW ON PARADE

All the liars are now on parade
As we take part in this charade
If democracy meant power it would be banned
I’m sure on this point you understand
The fix is in as much as it may be
It’s now down to the few and to the lazy
Even so when it is this close
One or the other gets a fatal dose
A democratic dictatorship then ensues
As the vanquished disappear from the news
First past the post and the world is yours
Even with minority vote your vision endures
And you can act as if a landslide was
And in all those pots insert your claws
Oh yes, democracy such a fine idea
Once each four year pick a new fear
Who’ll be the one to be given carte lanche?
To your chosen despot an avalanche
The gravy train folks are out for number one
To pick your pocket and bury your son
A democratic dictatorship is the modern way
You get your vote and they get their way
Put up or shut up that’s what they want
As their devious lies come back to haunt
Just place your ‘X’ or punch your chad
Then sit back and realise that you’ve been had
In a sytem of cynics you HAVE no power
As money screams hour on hour
They do as IT says, NEVER you
The backers have the attention of the political crew
Don’t think democracy is what they say
It’s just a device to make sure you pay
Taxes without power, but shush, don’t speak
It’s treason for desire to come from the weak
In a land where the dollar really IS king
Do you truly believe you’ll be GIVEN a thing?
So here you are, see the liars parade
Take your pick from this charade
At the end of all your sober deliberation
It’s big business that decides on your libation
The elites control as they always have
Bread and circuses make you behave
As they keep the fantasy running on tap
Holding you forever in their trap
But, after all is said and done
Your vote is much better than a gun
Go out and give it your best shot
It’s better to have it than to not
The Business Party has two halves
That together divide the holy calves
Bush and Kerry are ALMOST the same
Though Kerry this time IS most sane
His direction WOULD lead in a better way
Will America choose it? Who can say?
But in the end there is one honest man
And he is the one Kerry hated to stand
It shows just how bad things REALLY are
When your regular liar is the shining star
But nadir is the man who SHOULD be king
But the one who’ll come away with barely a thing
So it goes. So it is. All hype and lies.
Such duplicity we should despise
What you really feel doesn’t count for *****
All that matters is what you DO with it
But ignore all this. Go do it. It’s a special time.
The Kerry Hope versus The Bushie Slime
The path of history must take a better turn
Or all around us war will churn
If you have the smallest hope for a brighter day
Dump ugly Bush. Go the Kerry way.
Don’t worry reps, the world won’t fall apart
If Bushie falls from his apple cart
Kerry won’t be perfect but he won’t let you down
The money machine will STILL be around
Pushing its influence just as before
And if needs be, another war
The democracy of dictatorship WILL grind on
Until our consumption blacks out the sun
Forget all this! It’s not the time.
All things can’t be reasoned or put into rhyme
A crossroad exists, a small window for us
To get off this death road that’ll grind us to dust
Bush and bin Laden, two sides of a coin
Just choose your way, but keep in mind
Your choices are few the way the game’s played
Of all that’s revealed there’s so little displayed
But go out and try! There’s a small chance of change
To tweak, if only slightly, all that’s deranged
Power politicians with their sad heads of ice
Controlling our fates on a roll of their dice
Go on, give it a try! Do your very best!
Use your damn vote! Aand then you can test
The things that they SAY with the things that they’ll DO
But always remember, they ALL lie to you
But when you get down to it, it’s all you have
That and to protest. Go out and be brave!
Don’t ever let them sucker you with more of the same
HERE’S where we START to CHANGE their game!
--O//O//--
I urge ever decent compassionate soul to vote Kerry and to dump the liar Bush.
For our children and their childrens and for their children's children.
Let us finally have an end to the stupidity and nightmare that was Bush
Whatever the result he WILL go.
Sometime he WILL go.
Let's make it NOW.
