The Lyrics
You were the candidate
For a party so sweet
Stormed through the primaries
And in to the ring
But after election
Your campaign went cold
Withered with autumn
And you found yourself old
Can you tell me why you have been
So sad?
They took a leader
From far off Texas
While you switched ideas
And ill conceived schemes
Can you tell my why you have been
So sad?
The votes were all in, they counted them then
John Edwards exclaimed "Let's try that again!"
You conceded and cut the cake
Your bride threatened to break your face
The one they hoped would last four years
So gallant and smart, to ease their fears
You cryed a bit, and walked in to
The angry scene, it felt just like being in 'Nam again
And it felt
Just like being in 'Nam again
Can you tell me why you have been
So sad?
Can you tell me why you have been
So sad?
For a party so sweet
Stormed through the primaries
And in to the ring
But after election
Your campaign went cold
Withered with autumn
And you found yourself old
Can you tell me why you have been
So sad?
They took a leader
From far off Texas
While you switched ideas
And ill conceived schemes
Can you tell my why you have been
So sad?
The votes were all in, they counted them then
John Edwards exclaimed "Let's try that again!"
You conceded and cut the cake
Your bride threatened to break your face
The one they hoped would last four years
So gallant and smart, to ease their fears
You cryed a bit, and walked in to
The angry scene, it felt just like being in 'Nam again
And it felt
Just like being in 'Nam again
Can you tell me why you have been
So sad?
Can you tell me why you have been
So sad?
