I, the newly elected "leader"; do solemnly swear...
To fill my pockets at the taxpayer's expense.
I'll go back on my word of "no government pay increases"
and then raise my own salary forty seven percent.
To crime my back will be turned away.
All over the nation we'll allow it to stay.
Drug dealers will fund my re-ellection campain.
Who says "crime doesn't pay?"
I promise to place wealthy business owner's wants,
ahead of my common constituents needs.
After all I say; "Does it matter when a 'peon' bleeds?"
From my "soap box" I'll promise the world.
Then during my tenure I'll give then "the screw".
They already know I'm a politician.
Who would expect anything new?
"You have my word on it", and I'll certainly guarantee.
I'll twist justice 'til my own laws don't apply to me.
All this I swear.
"In God's name I prey";
my right hand on the Bible;
I'm an Atheist anyway.
