So, here's a song I wrote today about the election. (I'm not sure how to embed a video, so if anyone wanted to help me out with that, I'd really appreciate it. Lyrics are below the orange squiggly guy down there.)

Well, last night I flipped on my television
To watch two men act presidential
And debate about who they think should get to run the country
This should be interesting, I thought
I hate reality shows
But I love a sequel
You see, this wasn’t the first debate they’d had
And last time the president did awful bad
So I went in with pretty low hopes
The TV said the president was against the ropes
The governor’s gonna knock it out of the park
It’s gonna be a slam dunk
He’s already dancing in the end zone
Metaphors are gonna be mixing all over the place
So, I sat down and settled in
Just in time for the main event
They shook hands and came out swinging
The president debating and the challenger zinging
You could call them ‘zingers’, I guess
If you watch Fox News
Now the governor might have started strong
But, my friends, it didn’t take long
Before the president calling him out on lies
Began to take a toll on that two hundred and fifty billion dollar smile
Smirk, I mean
Robots can’t smile
Neither can assholes
‘Now look,’ he said, ‘I’ll get you back to work
I know how, as governor I learned.
As president, I’d create twelve million jobs
Because the government doesn’t create jobs.’(?)
Well, my friends, that’s a pretty weak rhyme
It’s a pretty weak argument too
So, round after round, the governor tried to attack
The president bobbed and weaved and hit him right back
Then someone asked that fatal question
‘Governor, what are you gonna do for women?’
Should I even bring up ‘binders’ at this point?
I can’t even come up with a joke about that
It’d be like kicking a three legged puppy
So with time running out, it was clear who won
The governor stood beaten, shaken and stunned
Then with seconds left, the president landed one last blow
’47 percent? I work for you all, y’know.’
Now that’s my president
That’s the guy I voted for
(Just don’t f**k up the next debate, ok?)
