Candidate

[Verse 1]
As I walk along this road paved with human kindness
I can never forget the price you've paid
I'm an actor on a role, an artificial virus
I'm your daddy, I'm your disgrace
I say, "Kid, just move along
We don't want it, don't need it
Your politics just breed despair"
I salute an empty flag of ancient tribalism
And trust me, nobody cares

[Chorus]
For I am your candidate
I am bloody lips and makeup (Ooh-ooh)
I'm your caliphate, opioids and mutilation
A celebrity and my name is competition (Ooh-ooh)
I've come to bear your pain (Bear your pain)
And I can make it go away, I'll make it go away
I'll make it go away-ay-ay-ay-ay (Yeah)

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
Believers, dupes, and clowns
I want you all to gather 'round
To glorify ignorance and fear
I dispense misinformation
To a post-truth generation
My darlings, don't shed a tear

[Chorus]
For I am your candidate
I am bloody lips and makeup (Ooh-ooh)
I'm your caliphate, opioids and revelation
An hermaphrodite
In restrooms and service stations (Ooh-ooh)
I truly feel your pain (Feel your pain)
And I can make it go away, I'll make it go away
I'll make it go away
