When You Got No Substance

Terrorist,
socialist,
Muslim,
Husein,

when you got
no substance,
no plan,
no real commitment
to help average Americans,

you try the ol' fear factor,

but lying isn't much
of a tactic, it's disrespect
to voters,

if you're lacking substance,
or a real game plan to save
people's lives, their homes,
their jobs, to restore our
respect and economic power
around the world,

then you shouldn't run
for the highest office
in the world,

I find it so sad,
that the core of this
campaign is:

trying to pull one
past the voters,

get us divided,
fighting, yelling
hate, at each other,
make us feel as if
we weren't Americans
if we didn't vote for them?

terrorist,
socialist,
Muslim,
Husein,

that's your move,
that's how you're gonna
save our homes, jobs,
health care,

and please stop
saying you want us
to win the war?
there is no winning
in war,

we lost when we sent
the greatest soldiers
in the world
to fight a war
based on a lie,

you're suppose to
have their backs
like they have ours.
