Im coming from a different direction these days, down a different path.
We don’t have to stand up. We don’t have to fight. We can sit down
and pass the peace pipe. Everybody lives and walks away happy..
Let’s try that for a while. Aren’t we a war weary people, anyway? What has fighting ever solved?
I see a big red flag, I see it as a warning
“when Im watchin my tv, and a man comes on a tellin me”
how hes gonna go to Washington, DC,
and how he's gonna fight for you and me.
I don’t want anybody fightin for me, especially some guy stuffed in a
blue or red suit with an American flag pin made in China, prominently
displayed for the camera to see, with a suitcase full of corporate
money.
I want somebody whos gonna make peace, smoke the peace pipe.
Im a slow learner, lots of issues and stuff, keeps me so busy, but what
I have learned, is it’s not about issues or parties. It’s about money
and the power it represents.
So, Im not going to stand up for anything and I aint gonna fight for nothing, honey.
Im gonna sit here and try to figure the less funded most obscure candidates I can find , the ones with no strings attached.
If they don’t have an agenda or a platform and they are not obsessed with some single issue, even better.
If they just wanna go to DC and be part of a reasonable conversation
and willin to listen and learn and develop policies that are good for
the many, instead of the few, that’s my man ... or woman, dammit.
I wish I knew all of this when I was 18 or had the good sense to listen
if somebody tried to tell me. I wish we all did, cause it aint about
just one person.
