The Part of Him
Political Puppetry Unveiled: The Part of Him
Lyrics
He was elected, wingnut raised and corn fed
He was elected, identified as a conservative, raised in rural areas, and culturally connected to traditional values.
Teabags dragging on the chamber floor
Refers to the controversial Tea Party movement, suggesting political extremism.
He did what he had to do to get southern boys to vote for you
He used tactics to appeal to Southern voters, even if they were manipulative.
To grease the wheels to get you in the door
Employed strategies to secure support and gain political entry.
But he must of said some things
Indicates he made statements that caused people to question his alignment.
That made them think that he was strange
His words made people perceive him as unconventional or eccentric.
And made them wonder if he was one of them
People questioned if he truly belonged to their group or ideology.
They had to call him in but he wouldn't make amends
When called to address issues, he refused to reconcile or apologize.
So they had to reel the poor boy in
Authorities had to intervene to bring him under control.
He was an absolute piece of shit to tell the truth
He was morally reprehensible, but this fact wasn't openly acknowledged.
But he never told the truth to me
Despite his dishonesty, he never admitted the truth to the speaker.
He never told the truth to you don't think he ever set out to
Suggests a pattern of dishonesty not only towards the speaker but in general.
He was indifferent to honesty
He didn't care about truthfulness; his actions were indifferent to honesty.
His positions were pre-ordained to help conceal his vast disdain
His political stances were predetermined to hide his strong contempt for anything diminishing his popularity.
For anything that lessened his appeal
He lacked integrity, similar to Richard Nixon, and mastered the art of making advantageous deals.
His integrity was phoning in, totally Nixonian
His integrity was comparable to Nixon's, suggesting a lack of sincerity.
Honing in the art of making deals
He honed the skill of making self-serving deals.
He was a piece of work, more or less a total jerk
Describes him as a troublesome person, mostly unpleasant.
His own mama called him an SOB
Even his mother viewed him negatively, referring to him as a son of a bitch (SOB).
He never worked an honest day, just kissed up to a better way
He avoided honest work and instead sought ways to gain favor with those in power.
To sell the cow you could get for free
Preferred taking advantage of opportunities rather than working honestly.
When he got out of line, they snatched him up from behind
When he misbehaved, authorities intervened and took disciplinary action.
And put him in a box with fancy trim
He faced consequences, being confined in a metaphorical box with ostentatious features.
Rolled him out for all to see his rendezvous with destiny
His downfall was presented for public scrutiny, showcasing his destined failure.
Now someone else will play the part of him
He is now replaced by someone else in a similar role or position.
Someone else will play the part of him
Reiteration that someone else will now assume the role or persona previously held by him.
Someone else will play the part of him
-Someone else will play the part of him
-Someone else will play the part of him
