The Democratic Circus

Found out this morning
Theres a circus coming to town
They drive in Cadillacs
Using walkie-talkies and the Secret ServiceTheir big top, imitation of life
All the flags and microphones
Have to cover our eyesWe play the sideshows
And we like the tunnel of love
When we ride the ferris wheel
Were little children againWhen theyre asking for volunteers
Well be the first ones aboard
When the ringmaster calls our names
Be the first ones to go to sleepStealing all our dreams
Dreams for sale
They sell em back to youOn with the show
Start the parade
We sand along
Sweep us awayIts political party time
Going down, going down, going down
And the celebrities all come out
Coming down, coming down, comingSun is going down
And the dogs are starting to howl
We stay out after dark
Eating cotton candy and the musics playingHow we all laughed
We split our sides
The cameras flashed
We almost diedRains gonna pour on down, falling out of the sky
Coming down, coming down
And the celebrities all run out, and the rains
Coming down, coming downGonna rain, gonna rain, gonna rain
Gonna rain, gonna rain, rain, rain, rainAnd now I wonder whos boss
And who hes leavin behind?
