Public Disservice

We can fabricate a candidate
A covert way to manipulate the head of state
You could be our new recruit, a patsy in a suit
The final attribute to make our power absolute
We'll hire the pundits to endorse our puppet
And play this marionette like a string quartet
Mingle with the elite, sit in the hot seat
You can have a new career in deceit

A lapel flag pin and a dirty grin
You're almost certainly guaranteed to win
Just kiss some babies, press some flesh
Start your career in public disservice

Once you're in it's time to begin
We'll fill your cabinet with our businessmen
Launch the rockets, increase our profits
Watch the money roll in from the oval office

You'll pass our diatribe as your policy
Commit warcrimes periodically
Pander public fear and we'll be the profiteer
Fight an endless war that we engineer
There's nothing that we can't handle
Unless, of course, you start a public scandal
Then you're useless, but you've served your purpose
During your career in public disservice
