If you'll only look around, you'll see what must be changed
But over there in Barrytown, they see things kinda strange
Please know you're not my enemy
Just wish he'd speak reality
And though you'd like some company
I'm standing by myself
(If he's the nominee, I'll help)
Although I'm from the prairie, I don't live in Barrytown
Don't believe I'm taken in by stories I have heard
I just read Correntewire and swear by every word
And don't think I'm for Hillary
Or draining a distillery
But I have had my fill, you see
Of looking 'cross the aisle
At that date-rapist's smile
I hate to be contrary, but I'm not in Barrytown
It's fine that he decided one day that he loved The Word
I just wish he'd stop ragging on the unherd
He's brimming with charisma, he don't wear no shoulder chip
Says he'll be the captain of the Bipartisan ship
Forgive me if I make a shout
And harsh the mellow with some doubt
You say I should just be devout
"It's how the game is played
Just drink that cool, Kool-Aid"
I hauled in with John Kerry, is my next stop Barrytown?
With apologies to Steely Dan.
