When songs get stuck in your head . . .

and then merge with thoughts bouncing around in there in the first place! With my apologies to Mr. Mellencamp . . .(imagine extremely long musical introduction with chord changes here)

I need a leader that won't drive me crazy
I need a leader that won't drive me crazy
One that knows the meaning of ah
hey - family values

Well Ive been drivin these kids in the mornin
Racin through the carpool jungle at dawn
Im so confused, my mind is indifferent
Hey - Im so scattered, wont somebody buy my vote?

Electricity runs thru the debates
And I watch it from this hole I call home
And all them cronies are chantin for their candidate
And I got the polls callin me up tonight on the phone

(I need a leader that wont drive me crazy)
Some one who wll reward parents for doing the right thing
(I need a leader that wont drive me crazy)
Some one that knows the meaning of ah-
Being there for fam'lies!

Well Im not wiped out by this political crap I'm hearin
Im gonna ignore this drivel, and pandering, and think for myself
(think for myself)
Now Im not asking to be loved or be forgiven
Hey - I just can't face listening to this clutter
In my mind

(I need a leader that wont drive me crazy)
(I need a leader that wont drive me crazy)
(I need a leader that wont drive me crazy)
Some one that knows the meaning of ah-
Let Freedom Ring!
