Candidate

I see the skillful pilfer
I see the wise look away
Don't miss miss mystic's mistakes
Don't hear the price we will pay

I see a liar lying low
I see the spinners of youth
I watch the webs we've been wove
Waterdown the garden of truth

And won't you vote for me, I'm
Whatever I said in my speech
I bring you promise and hope

And won't you vote for me, I'll
Give back your money for free
Or a free pope soap on a rope

I feel faint at each feint
Finally I'm finely fingered
I hear my hairs rising up
As the carnal linguists linger

I see the masses get smashed
I see one more gapping gap
I watch their dreams woken up
And we're caught catching the crap

And won't you vote for me, I'm
Whatever I said in my speech
I bring you promise and hope

And won't you vote for me, I'll
Give back your money for free
Not a joke folks or a coaxed hoax

I have a mile of smile
I'm the man inside the mansion
I'm the con without the conscience
I'm not some hand-shaking handsome

I'll put the I in lie
I'll but the ache in fake
I'm the real sir in surreal
I'm the candid candidate

Really real, real that's me
Really real please believe
Really real, real that's me
Really real won't you believe
