The Savior
The Savior
A savior 'twas he s'pposed to be
A freer of humanity
The one who understood the poor
Spoke hope and change with much grandeur
The crowd did rally to his cause
And lavished him with much applause
And good he seemed on the first day
But soon his words did fade away
He showed his colors as he caved
To ev'ry whim and ev'ry wave
Of the party he opposed
A strategy they all supposed
The veil was lifted finally
And there he stood for all to see
Neglecting all he promised them
He made concessions on a whim
And soon the peoples' hearts did spy
That all they'd been told was a lie
As hard as 'twas for them to face
They had to admit his disgrace
For they were turned out in the cold
And they feared next what would unfold
We've been sold out, I heard them say
Before they turned and crawled away
Their jobs were lost, their homes foreclosed
Humiliation was imposed
In shackles they all now would be
Returned to times of slavery
