Hillary's 3 AM (Seethe)

Bu2

3 AM and they call me 'cause I'm still awake,
trying to help Bill unravel his latest mistake,
I don't love him, ’specially during this campaign season
Yeah he talks way too much, so accusing his eyes
as he wags that one finger to loudly chastise
delegates, we’re both here for the very same reason

'Cause we can't jump the ship, we owe way too much money
Obama makes millions like bees making honey
and no one can find the right way to back out
so I strangle his neck with my hands
and seethe, just seethe,
Woah seethe, just seethe

(Bridge): There’s a way for us, still, to get back to the White House
we’re just as far in as we ever were out
These commercials we’ve made, we’ll just make them again
until no one knows what we’re about

But I seethe, yes seethe
oh, I seethe, yes seethe

3 AM and I'm still awake, writing emails
It’s much better than calling friends, crying and
ranting and screaming and threatening the jobs they hold onto
and I feel like Obama is gaining some ground
cause my dates in my diary no longer seem sound
and I know you’ll watch You Tube as long as you want to

But we can't jump the ship, we owe way too much money
Obama makes millions like bees making honey
no one can find the right way to back out
so I strangle Bill’s neck with my hands
and seethe, just seethe,
Woah seethe, just seethe

(I'd post this to the poetry board, but it's really political, is it not?)
