A Light in the Mirror

the trains leave the station
on a whistle stop tour across the nation
carrying with them politicians
and the future of the world

here comes this one train
broken axle bound with duck tape
chugging along like nothings wrong
gears grinding all along

this is the story of the Fail Train
conducted by Senator John McCain
barreling down the rails at full speed
powered by bullshit and greed

chugging along
digging his grave
he picks up a hockey mom from Alaska
as his Vice President

Palin brings twenty tonnes of the same shit
can’t even last one sit
with Gibson or Couric
says ‘Maverick’ enough to make you sick

this is the story of the Fail Train
conducted by Senator John McCain
barreling down the rails at full speed
powered by bullshit and greed

‘My friends’ he says,
hoping someone will believe his lies
as he launches a smear campaign
a last ditch effort to stay on the tracks

yet this fail train is chugging full steam
straight toward the end of the line
the end of the dime
and a cliff

no one believes his shit
Sarah’s just a dimwit
Arizona’s slip and fall
something to regret

this is the story of the Fail Train
conducted by Senator John McCain
barreling down the rails at full speed
powered by bullshit and greed

all aboard the fail train,
full steam toward demise
powered by bullshit
powered by lies
