Artificial Competition

I couldn't help but smile
When you finally asked for my help
You thought you could change the time
On that clock by the door all yourselves

I've seen you march in circles
At some feeble command
Then you all chant something silly
For the mini-cam
What activists for all the world to see
But did you lift a finger
When they came after me?

I want you all to know
That when you talked behind my back
I was above you
And not even a change of heart
Could make me love you

You were quite the laugh on
The way to the ballot box
What an impact you must
Have made on all our lives

You must believe all the swill
That you hear on the news
And I'll bet santa claus bought
Your last pair of shoes
Sam and bear both profit when
They make you afraid
And just where do you think your money
Goes after you get paid?

I want you all to know
That when you follow down my path
I'm still above you
And not even a change of heart
Could make me love you
