lyrics

Brought the horses to Goldwater but they wouldn't drink the Kool-aid
Build a kingdom down in Texas as specifically instructed
Enlisting radicals
'States' rights' fans of Jim Crow tacticals
And born-agains singing Bible-Grahams in sabbaticals

Jump when anyone says jump
In an attempt to reach the stump
Fatal loyal through and through
Slimy campaign with a Willie Horton coup
The only strife the US knows
Takes sandy paths where oil flows
[but at least the first time we knew better...]

Lie, cheat, steal
Winning is the most important thing
To make a mama proud
It takes a special sort
To go so far to extort
Enemies listed, live pleas scripted

Another carnival junkie

Hotel break-in changed the range of unrestricted
Hidden mics and tapes were handled
Blockage, coverups and scandals
Send the Presidency down in flames
Burnt like napalm in its grave

Another carnival junkie

Sling enough mud to fill a third grade playground
Playing the toddler to bring the primary state polls back 'round
Manage to support, then back, and then elect
This nation's single worst possible President

Crazed prophecy, ignorant doctrine
From sound bitten single-issue congressmen
Spoon-fed by ALEC lobbyists and fossil money
Ex-governors with Russia vision
Gay frog hollerers with snake oil habits
KKK Nazi fetishists
And talking heads all fair and balanced
A well-paid lack of common sense
And dogma where there should be consciousness
Their supporters parrot back what they're told when they're polled
Carry signs that misspell out what's really wrong at home

Strip programs away from those who need them
Boost defenses, build the fences
And then starving the rest down, carving it down
To a skeletal structure deficient
Then it lets us down and you blame it
To earn the seats that you calculated
To lie by choosing
To win by losing
And to save us from the better angels of our nature

It's our nature
