PT Barnum said it long ago<\/p>\n
Voters, like suckers, born every minute, don-cha- no<\/p>\n
Primary candidates made us laugh, some made us cry<\/p>\n
These nominated clowns said the other\u2019s gonna make us die<\/p>\n
Supporters came arunnin when their clown\u2019s circus came to town<\/p>\n
They stayed away from the tents of the opponent killer clown<\/p>\n
TV debatemasters shouted let the show begin<\/p>\n
Send in the clowns, whispering hope they don\u2019t do us in<\/p>\n
Look around, what do we see<\/p>\n
What’s becoming of our democracy<\/p>\n
From California shores to New York Times Square<\/p>\n
It\u2019s Barnum and Bailey everywhere<\/p>\n
All that was missing were rubber noses on painted faces<\/p>\n
2016 campaign\u2019s suicidal train wreck of a presidential race<\/p>\n
Election day\u2019s a ride on a nightmare merry-go-round<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s hope we\u2019re not DOA after we elect this year\u2019s killer clown<\/p>\n
2016\u2019s Killer Clowns<\/p>\n
