I Promise
To listen to “my” candidate
With heavy-duty filtered ears
Only allowing what gets through
To hear what I want to hear
The “other” candidate with
Sharp discerning ears
In a broader range to
Pick-up dog whistles
Whilst living in fear
If I may be so Freudian
Both candidates are starting
To sound like my mother
After stating, I was moving out
Making impossible promises
To retain me to stay, such as
I’ll make you breakfast each day
You can park anywhere
On the driveway, and I won’t
Charge you rent like I said
(Which triggered the whole
Get out of Dodge plan anyway)
The funny thing is, both are each
Adopting and adapting the other’s
Plans, proposals, and promises
Reverberating off the rhetoric
Until you can’t tell who is doing what
I promise
I’ll help you buy a house
With magic money, I just made up
While I make sure there are more houses
To bring down the value of the houses
People are already indebted to the banks for
” Ooopsie, don’t pay attention to that part” – “46.5”
I’ll lower your taxes
I’ll jack up other countries’ tariffs so high
You’ll live in America for free while
China and all other gross importers
Pay for you to live in the land of the free
“That must be how it is meant,
No wonder I’m a stable genius” – “45”
I’ll do something about the border
I won’t let any more people in
I will kick everyone out
I’ll fricking let you frack
I’ll let you kill in womb fetuses
I’ll let you kill out of womb fetuses
Please, please, please, pick me, pick me
Are these two candidates vying to lead or
Running to be a classless class president?
Whoa, decisions, decisions, decisions
Made on vague impossible promises that
I promise to investigate after the election
But only if “my” candidate loses because
I am going to participate in a rigged game
“Never had a doubt in the beginning
Never a doubt
Trusted you true in the beginning
//
You made me promises, promises
Knowing I’d believe
Promises, promises
You knew you’d never keep
Second time around, I’m still believing
The words that you said
You said you’d always be here
//
You made me promises, promises
You knew you’d never keep
Promises, promises
Why do I believe?
//
You made me promises, promises
You knew you’d never keep
Promises, promises
Why do I believe
All of your promises
You knew you’d never keep
Promises, promises
Why do I believe?
Promises
Promises
Promises
Promises
Promises

“So I know that a little later on this year, you’re going to have another one of those really swell presidential elections that you like so much. You enjoy yourselves. It will be a lot of fun. I’m sure as soon as the election is over, your country will “improve” immediately.
As for me, I’ll be home on that day, doing essentially the same thing as you, the only difference is, when I get finished masturbating, I’m going to have a little something to show for it folks.”

“Sometimes, I just follow
A dark path…… because
I can not find my way.”
– Angelo Devlin
This is awesome!!! Love “classless class president”!! all of them without a whit of class or decency. I suppose we deserve what we vote for. There’s gotta be a bottom at some point, no? Sheesh. Thanks for keeping it real!
