Smear Campaign

The dirty tricks department is working overtime Trying to stop the candidate from getting in this time With the silken fist Now you've crossed the company With a Judas kiss They've got you on the list We'll your friends in low places Have tightened up the screws They made this town a nightmare You're trapped, what can you do The quality of mercy Is really out of reach Don't call on the ones you peeled Practice what you preach The Wheels are now in motion, all the traps are set Under this commotion, will walk into this mess The stars intoxicated, - they're at the staring gate He may never make it to the planned T.V debate He can't fight off the big bucks of the old brigade He's gotta watch his step In this smear capmgain They called a snap election in the summer heat The town is reeling backwards Like a drunk man on the street Feed those lies Bend those minds at any price Foul or fair As long as it's not there Election time Don't believe the papers, it's not anybody's race He's not a rank beginner, it's not a children's game He's got my nomination, if he breaks through the chains Or they'll shoot him down on main street in this Smear Canpgain Just watch the party faithful fuel the dream machine They've fuged up all the issues Eat the scandal sheet The dirty tricks department is nearly half insane Trying to stop the candidate with a Smear Campgain
