There’s a shadow not cast from you nor me,
Threatening our very liberty!
It stretches far from Washington D.C.,
Not from our votes, neither you nor me!

Oligarchy control by a party of two,
Whipping our reps into their line.
Was this our founder’s future view,
Of how our country should be aligned?

There’s a majority whip who’s often thought
To be in control of his party’s truths.
A minority whip who has not forgot
The majority desires of his supporting crews!

Taxpayers are not asked if they want to pay,
The salaries required by the whip’s gathered team!
Pay though we do without any say,
These whips only espouse their solo stacked steam!

Gathering numbers, independents should rule,
Yet elections are lost to the two party plights.
Casting of ballots in all States as we drool,
Control of our country never reaches our sights!

Can we not see our control is long lost?
Republicans and Democrats laugh at our miss.
Their whips will demand no matter our cost,
The two-party joys of control bring them bliss!

There’s a shadow not cast from you nor me,
Threatening our very liberty!
It stretches far from Washington D.C.,
Not from our votes, neither you nor me!
