If politics is a game
Let’s choose our players
Those who can shoot
And won’t make us shout.
If politics is a game
Let’s choose our players
Those who don’t foul
And won’t make us fall.
If politics is a game
Let’s choose our players
Those who can ran
And won’t bring us ruin.
If politics is a game
Let’s choose our players
Those who can score
And wont wreck our stores.
