We get too hungry to watch a debate

American Idol comes on before eight

We’ll watch the news if it isn’t too late

That’s why the voter is a chump

We form opinions on flag pins and hair

Watching the channel that’s balanced and fair

There may be problems, but we really don’t care

That’s why the voter is a chump

We like the crisp clear meaningless junk

sound bites and bunk

We’re screwed; what’s new!

We like our news brief, in little chunks

That’s why the voter is a chump
