candidate

as i walk along this road paved with human kindness

i can never forget the price you've paid

i'm an actor on a role an artificial virus

i'm your daddy i'm your disgrace

i say kid just move along we don't want it - don't need it

your politics just breed despair

i salute an empty flag of ancient tribalism

and trust me nobody cares

for i am your candidate

i am bloody lips and makeup

i'm your caliphate

opioids and mutilation

a celebrity

and my name is competition

i've come to bear your pain

and i can make it go away

i'll make it go away

i'll make it go away

believers dupes and clowns

i want you all to gather 'round

to glorify ignorance and fear

i dispense misinformation

to a post-truth generation

my darlings don't shed a tear

for i am your candidate

i am bloody lips and makeup

i'm your caliphate

opioids and revelation

an hermaphrodite

in restrooms and service stations

i truly feel your pain

and i can make it go away

i'll make it go away

i'll make it go away
