McCain to Replace Randy Scheunemann, with Randy Newman

Short-tempered People got, no reason
Short-sighted People got, no reason
Short-brained People got, no reason
To live

They got little smarts
And little wise
And they run a campaign
Tellin’ great big lies
They got “tiny” ads about Moses
And tiny lobbyists who cheat
They wear right-wing platform shoes
On their nasty little feet
