lyrics

Fraught with grief as you watch his acceptance speech in your air conditioned homes on your brand new plasma screens.

You grind your teeth. Shake your head in Disbelief. And collapse onto all four on your polished hardwood floors.

If this is the worst, we've got quite a favorable curse. Complaining about our first world problems. Don't say it's the worst that it could be. We've got life and Jeep Liberties to pursue with all our tax refund dollars.

You clench your fists as you pour the comments. And you type out your two cents with a small dash of vengeance.

With surgeon like precision, you defend your disposition. And your counter points seem fair but you forget that no one cares.

He concedes defeat and the crowd begins to weep. The tears fall from their cheeks to their freshly paved streets. And all their hopes and dreams are rendered obsolete. And the things that they held dear have slowly become all the things that they feared.
