The dirty tricks department is working overtime<br />
Trying to stop the candidate from getting this time<br />
The wheels are now in motion all the traps are set<br />
Under this commotion will he walk into this mess<br />
<br />
The state's intoxicated they're at the staarting gate<br />
He may never make it to the planned TV debate<br />
He can't fight off the big bucks of the old brigade<br />
He's gotta watch his step in this smear campaign<br />
<br />
They called a snap election in the summer heat<br />
This town is reeling backwards<br />
Like a drunk man on the streets<br />
<br />
Feed those lies<br />
Bend those minds at any price<br />
Foul or air<br />
As long as he's not there<br />
Election time<br />
<br />
Don't believe the papers it's not anybody's race<br />
He's not a rank beginner it's not a children's game<br />
He may get the nomination if he breaks through the chain<br />
Or they'll shoot him down on Main street in this smear campaign<br />
<br />
Just watch the party faithful fuel the dream machine<br />
They've fudged up all the issues eat that scandal sheet<br />
The dirty tricks department is nearly half insane<br />
Trying to stop the candidate with a smear camaign
