Candidate

As I walk along this road

Paved with human kindness

I can never forget the price you've paid

I'm an actor on a role

An artificial virus

I'm your daddy, I'm your disgrace

I say, "Kid, just move along"

We don't want it, don't need it

Your politics just breed despair

I salute an empty flag

Of ancient tribalism

And trust me, nobody cares

For I am your

Candidate

I am bloody lips and makeup

I'm your caliphate

Opioids and mutilation

A celebrity

And my name is competition

I've come to bear your pain (Bear your pain)

And I can make it go away

I'll make it go away

I'll make it go away, yeah

Believers, dupes, and clowns

I want you all to gather around

To glorify ignorance and fear

I dispense misinformation

To a post-truth generation

My darlings, don't shed a tear

For I am your

Candidate

I am bloody lips and makeup

I'm your caliphate

Opioids and revelation

An hermaphrodite

In restrooms and service stations

I truly feel your pain (Feel your pain)

And I can make it go away

I'll make it go away

I'll make it go away
