Trying to fix politics
By working from within
Is like using a trowel
To fill the Grand Canyon in.
Alas, fixing politics
By showing up to vote
Is like taking that same trowel
To South Dakota via boat.
Trying to fix politics

Do you feel the suction,
The all-consuming swirl
That spins you round and round
Until you have to hurl?
No, it’s not a whirlpool,
Tornado, or typhoon.
It’s the suck of the political ads
Headed your way soon.

Math has strength in numbers,
Computer science has Intel.
Musicians can pull the strings,
And drama can as well.
But the nerdy occupation
That wins while hardly trying
Are the mattress beta-testers,
‘Cause, oh man, they’re good at lying.
