He Pooped Outside Of The Box

"Se hizo pupú fuera del cajón." (He pooped out of the box.) Joaquín Balaguer, accusing Peña Gómez of paranoia, during the Dominican Republic 1994 elections.
He Pooped Outside Of The Box
Dedicated to all politicians.

Sunny days become crispy falls
The poison ivy climbs the stone walls,
The crispy fall becomes winter
The soap box in passion splinters,
The winter becomes the spring
When the vultures take to the wing,
The vultures sadly come around
For it is sickenly found,
This the result of any campaign
Hope it doesn't leave a stain

( Chorus )
Just another well dressed monkey
Carrying a wrench,
Trying to think outside the box
But overwhelmed by the stench,
The well dressed monkey in gorilla's clothes
Promises and actions make me hold my nose

Velvet words are lovingly painted
The images are sadly tainted,
The tainted images are broadcast
Leaving many more to ask,
What is this flinging of mud
The flinging mud makes a thud,
Then the aroma, you inhale
Ready to vomit, as promises fail,
The followers follow holding brooms
Just another election season resumes

( Chorus )
Just another well dressed monkey
Carrying a wrench,
Trying to think outside the box
But overwhelmed by the stench,
The well dressed monkey in gorilla's clothes
Promises and actions make me hold my nose.
