Paul Simon Tells us how to win elections

The problem is all inside your head

She said to me

The answer is easy if you

Take it logically

I'd like to help you in your struggle

To be free

There must be fifty ways

To win an election

 

[CHORUS:]

You Just slip out the back, Jack

Make a new plan, Stan

You don't need to be coy, Roy

Just get yourself free

Hop on the bus, Gus

Call all your friends, Sen

You don't need to discuss much

Just chop off the RW BS, Lee!

Tell them to serve US, or else!

And get yourself free

 

She said it's really not my habit

To intrude

Furthermore, I hope my meaning

Won't be lost or misconstrued

But I'll repeat myself

At the risk of being crude

There must be fifty ways

To beat the cons

 

Chorus

 

She said "it grieves me to see you in such pain;

Let me explain to you how we can win elections again;

You don't need to be someone else or even a jerk.

You can do it, but it takes a lot of work

So I'll repeat myself

At the risk of being crude

There must be fifty ways

To beat the cons

 

Chorus

 

She said we all have problems with Politicians who are jerks,

and their bad decisions are what it is that really hurts.

But you don't have to vote for them!

You don't have to vote for them at all!

So I'll remind you at the risk of being crude:

There must be Fifty ways to beat the cons!

 

Chorus
