Ted called politics a "dirty game" in a thread over the in the general chat area. And hence a song lyric was born. This doesn't fit the theme of my next album, but I may just record a full production anyways - it's a rocker.

Dirty Game (copyright 2016)

Verse 1
Kissing crying babies
Shaking dirty hands
It’s all part of the game
He’s on the right
She’s on the left
But they’re really all the same

Verse 2
A chicken in every pot
Pot for every chicken
Don’t believe a word they’re saying
He’s not the chosen one
And neither is she
It’s all a dirty game they are playing

Chorus
They’re slinging mud
Calling for blood
It’s all a dirty game
They want the power
The high seat on the tower
It’s just a dirty game

Verse 3
E-day approaches
They kick it up a notch
Anything to make you take note
Robocalls and spam
All part of the plan
False promises to get your vote

Chorus

Bridge
The people head to the polls
Like sheep to the slaughter
Graveyards’ got ready holes
Our heads are already under water

Chorus

Way cool

(clapping)

It's not meant to be a comparison, and it's certainly not a fair one since this one was recorded in a studio already...but here is my political commentary song. From Ecc 10:1

But your depiction of kissing babies is old school.
Now they kiss the mamas and shake the baby's hands!!

yeah, I know, but that was too cynical for me to use!

Mike, have you come up with anything yet?..sounds like the making of a good one, as you always do..
