I look to the left for they claim to have answers
To all the unanswered questions and hanging shads
But I see corruption and hear more of their defeatist rhetoric
The same kind of crap I had spit on me during my tours in Vietnam
I look to the right as they have Presidential control
And started a war that nobody thinks they can win
I see corrupted logic and apathetic stupidity
As they handcuff and further restrain our military forces
With more foolish and oppressive Rules Of Engagement
I look to the center for an independent take
Of what this great nation needs
And all I see are so many two legged Lemmings
Drowning in a cesspool of indecisive mediocrity
Each side shouts and asks for more money
While trying to silence the others of a voice
It's certainly....
Politics as usual....
And the damn voting machine won't give me a receipt___
