Candidate Lyrics

[Verse 1]
As I walk along this road paved with human kindness
I can never forget the price you've paid
I'm an actor on a role, an artificial virus
I'm your daddy, I'm your disgrace
I say kid just move along
We don't want it, don't need it
Your politics just breed despair
I salute an empty flag of ancient tribalism
And trust me nobody cares

[Chorus]
For I am your candidate
I am bloody lips and makeup
I'm your caliphate opioids and mutilation
A celebrity and my name is competition
I've come to bear your pain (Bear your pain)
And I can make it go away, I'll make it go away, I'll make it go away

[Verse 2]
Believers, dupes, and clowns, I want you all to gather 'round
To glorify ignorance and fear
I dispense misinformation to a post-truth generation
My darlings, don't shed a tear

[Chorus]
For I am your candidate
I am bloody lips and makeup
I'm your caliphate opioids and revelation
An hermaphrodite in restrooms and service stations
I truly feel your pain (Feel your pain)
And I can make it go away, I'll make it go away, I'll make it go away

The candidate is our 'leader' who we chose to solve all our problems. regardless of what is truly happening. Border walls, xenophobia, believing that life will magically come to a consensus. Strong Meanings, as Always.
