To Run for Office

     What�s the use of running
     For an officer, a position
     When it�s a popularity contest
     And everyone viewing with suspicion

     People vote only for friends
     Of the people they do know
     But what if you�re not popular
     Someone else they rather go

     It seems so much a let down
     When you don�t succeed
     And even though I know it
     I just wish, a chance to lead

     They claim it isn�t true
     Popularity not the key
     But I do know the truth
     �Tis real, actuality

     So when I sit there waiting
     For the name to be said
     I shake my head and sigh once more
     The results I somewhat dread

     Never once have I made it
     So why do I still try?
     �Cause there�s still a chance
     Small, but there, that�s why
