The Clown and the Election
Hold your cards close to your chest
Don't trust the other side
It's hard to know the honest truth
When all you hear are their lies
The curtain opens on an election and a clown
Clouded in hearsay and rumor
The art of redirection he has to perfection
A thousand eyes keep watch on his town
And oh, look what you've done
Look what you have created
Children beg in the street
Never to be liberated
Oh the loneliest hearts endure
Left behind in the filth and debris
Here the plague rats relentlessly feast
Embrace the unrest and unease
The man with the raven face gives his life
To those so desperately in need
But nefarious plans he holds for those
Embracing lust and greed
And oh, look what you've done
Look what you have created
The children beg in the street
Never to be liberated
And oh, how delightful
The chaos you leave in your wake
The future seems so frightful
We fall to our knees and we quake
Hold your cards close to your chest
No one is safe anymore
Not clown, nor raven, nor lady in the dark
Those elected will meet their demise
Oh look what you've done
Look what you have created
The children beg in the street
Never to be liberated
And oh, how delightful
The chaos you leave in your wake
The future seems so frightful
We fall to our knees and we quake
Don't trust the other side
It's hard to know the honest truth
When all you hear are their lies
The curtain opens on an election and a clown
Clouded in hearsay and rumor
The art of redirection he has to perfection
A thousand eyes keep watch on his town
And oh, look what you've done
Look what you have created
Children beg in the street
Never to be liberated
Oh the loneliest hearts endure
Left behind in the filth and debris
Here the plague rats relentlessly feast
Embrace the unrest and unease
The man with the raven face gives his life
To those so desperately in need
But nefarious plans he holds for those
Embracing lust and greed
And oh, look what you've done
Look what you have created
The children beg in the street
Never to be liberated
And oh, how delightful
The chaos you leave in your wake
The future seems so frightful
We fall to our knees and we quake
Hold your cards close to your chest
No one is safe anymore
Not clown, nor raven, nor lady in the dark
Those elected will meet their demise
Oh look what you've done
Look what you have created
The children beg in the street
Never to be liberated
And oh, how delightful
The chaos you leave in your wake
The future seems so frightful
We fall to our knees and we quake
