Smear Campaign |
| The dirty tricks department is working overtime |
| Trying to stop the candidate from getting this time |
| The wheels are now in motion all the traps are set |
| Under this commotion will he walk into this mess |
| The state’s intoxicated they’re at the staarting gate |
| He may never make it to the planned TV debate |
| He can’t fight off the big bucks of the old brigade |
| He’s gotta watch his step in this smear campaign |
| They called a snap election in the summer heat |
| This town is reeling backwards |
| Like a drunk man on the streets |
| Feed those lies |
| Bend those minds at any price |
| Foul or air |
| As long as he’s not there |
| Election time |
| Don’t believe the papers it’s not anybody’s race |
| He’s not a rank beginner it’s not a children’s game |
| He may get the nomination if he breaks through the chain |
| Or they’ll shoot him down on Main street in this smear campaign |
| Just watch the party faithful fuel the dream machine |
| They’ve fudged up all the issues eat that scandal sheet |
| The dirty tricks department is nearly half insane |
| Trying to stop the candidate with a smear camaign |
