I saw a man on a corner street
Yelling out a name
He told me, “Vote for this guy”
I said, “They’re all the same”
He yelled, “This one’s different
He’ll give us what we need”
“That’s what I’m afraid of”
I said, and turned to leave
The man yelled, “Wait! Stop!
I still don’t understand”
I said, “What I need ain’t the business
Of any other man”
He hung his head and groaned
Still clearly in the dark
And said, “You’re with the other party
They’ve surely missed the mark!”
I said, “Sir, I don’t care too much for parties,
Freedom’s what I’m about
Whether it’s in the bedroom or the boardroom
The only place for government is out”
