The Lesser of Two Evils (Part 2)

from Politics by Icicle

/

lyrics

The lesser of two evils
Lives under a bridge
Right beside a river
Filled with three-eyed fish

Next week he’ll be mayor
Or congressman, or judge
But nobody will vote
Lazy nation does not budge

Because there’s no remote
To vote you’d have to move
But for reality TV
We’ve nothing left to prove

The reason for our right to choose
Has fallen out of sight
How quickly we’ve forgotten
Why our fathers fought the fight

The lesser of two evils
Is a choice we’re forced to make
Searching for solutions
Too terrified to take

A risk for fear of losing
Your polished comfort base
And nothing gets accomplished
Except for saving face

So, call this drug free number
And they’ll tell you what to say
We’ve got to buy some influence
We’ll use your hard-earned pay

To launch an anti-love campaign
From friendly bureaucrats
Surround you with your tax returns
And itemize your past

Our culture fueled by ego
As our beaches fill with tar
If we could harness ego
We could power every car

Watching Wall Street crumble
As the nation bear its scars
As the lesser of two evils
Watches from afar

The lesser of two evils
Is a choice we’re forced to make
Searching for solutions
Too terrified to take

A risk for fear of losing
Your polished comfort base
And nothing gets accomplished
Except for saving face

The lesser of two evils
The lesser of two evils

We all begin to wonder
What Earth has got in store
If we’ve become the sickness
Perhaps we all must go

For if we are infected
Our temperature will rise
To save a dying planet
Something has to die

The lesser of two evils
Is a choice we’re forced to make
Searching for solutions
Too terrified to take

A risk for fear of losing
Your polished comfy base
And nothing gets accomplished
Except for saving face

The lesser of two evils
Is a choice we’re forced to make
Searching for solutions
Too terrified to take

A risk for fear of losing
Your polished comfy base
And nothing gets accomplished
Except for saving face

The lesser of two evils
Is a choice we’re forced to make
