John Mccain Rapadamus
(1st Verse)
John McCain
I feel your pain
Something happened
To your brain
When you were caught
In captivity
Where’s the maverick
That we used to see
(Hook)
John McCain
You’ve become arcane
But the people don’t need
More of the same
(2nd Verse)
Have you forgotten
Way back when
You were maligned
By George Bush’s men
What about the corner
They painted you in
And thereby guaranteeing
That they’d win
(Hook)
John McCain
You’ve become arcane
But the people don’t need
More of the same
(Bridge)
There was a time
You were
A voice of reason
You’re just another hack now
Who’s outta season
How can you support
A president
Who will hug and kiss you now
But still has bad intent
(3rd Verse)
John McCain
Please explain
How you embrace those
Who used to be your bane
So you chose to forgave ‘em
But have you forgot
They’re the same ones
Who put you in this rut
(Bridge)
There was a time
You were
A voice of reason
You’re just another hack now
Who’s outta season
How can you support
A president
Who will hug and kiss you now
But still has bad intent
(Hook)
John McCain
You’ve become arcane
But the people don’t need
More of the same
(Outro)
John McCain
Please explain
How you embrace those
Who used to be your bane
