Don't Trust Them As Far As You Can Throw Them

Don't Trust Them As Far As You Can Throw Them

The candidates are on the TV pleading
for a chance to get my allegiance and my vote
they try to tell me why they are the only guy
or girl who has the stuff to bring me hope

They offer inspiration and a vision
just what that vision is ain't always clear
with analogies and metaphors abundant
you'd think they were an ale and not light beer

(chorus)
Don't trust them as far as you can throw 'em
Don't trust them no matter who they are
Don't trust them as far as you can throw 'em
And it seems we cannot throw them very far
Yes it seems we cannot throw them very far
