Lyrics

The Candidate

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I am the candidate, I hope your voting for me,

Candid candidate, making promises so easily

I am the candidate,

But I'm not your favorite son - you say

I hope you come out on election day

I am the candidate, but you don't need me,

Looking down like a satellite, oh, how I wish I could see.

I am the candidate,

But I'm not your favorite son - you say.

I hope to see you on election day.

All these people that I call friends,

Can't beleive what I've done.

I'm just a criminal lost on my own.

I've got to run, got to run, got to run, got to run...

I'm running

I am the candidate,

I am your candidate,

I hope your voting for me...
