The Gap
A strange affliction overtakes our leaders
in times of crisis and despair
A budding gap between word and deed
from the president to the local mayor
At times like this we need plain talk
Like John Wayne in an old time western
Tell us how it is and what to do
Give us the facts and we’ll see it through
Don’t doubletalk and fish for praise
Don’t spin the world till we’re in a daze
Spit it out and tell it short and straight
We’re strong enough to confront our fate
We’ve got to mobilize the masses
Put out the call and take all bids
Put the military on high alert
Or let’s not and say we did
