But I Voted For the Bum
by Scribe
"I can lower all your taxes.
I can keep the prices low."
Lies politicians tell me.
By now I ought to know.
His intentions weren't pure as driven snow.
I should have learned by now that all they want is dough.
But I voted for the bum.
But I voted for the bum.
Seems like I'm stuck with him now, oh boy.
Seems like I'm stuck with him now--oh.
Open up the hearings, let some light into the gloom.
I think that man was lyin' before he left the womb.
And his ethics are enough to make a camel trader strain.
He's worse than having no one. Why didn't I abstain?
Come election next year--I'm gonna go and hide.
Won't let no politician give me another ride.
Maybe I should run myself, but I still have some pride.
But I voted for the bum.
Yeah, I voted for the bum.
Guess I'll know better the next time, yeah.
