• A Song for Election Day

  I'm so tired of these mortal men
  with their hands on their wallets and their hearts full of sin
  Scared of their enemies and scared of their friends
  And they're always running for re-election
  So come to D.C. if it be thy will
  because we've never had a Savior on Capitol Hill
  
  Well you can always trust the Devil or a politician
  to be the Devil or a politician
  But beyond that, friends, you'd best beware
  'Cause at the Pentagon bar they're an inseparable pair
  And as long as the lobbyists are paying their bills
  Oh, we'll never have a Savior on Capitol Hill
  
  All of our problems gonna disappear
  when we can whisper right in that president's ear
  He can walk right across the reflection pool 
  in his combat boots and ten thousand dollar suit
  
  Oh, you can render unto Caesar everything that's his
  And you can trust in his power to come to your defense
  It's the way of the world, the way of the gun
  It's the trading of an evil for a lesser one
  So don't hold your breath or your vote until
  you think you've finally found a Savior up on Capitol Hill
