Slouching Toward Washington to be Inaugurated
Three counts for mountebanks out of the eye,
Seven for the turf lords with their telephones,
Nine for candidates, doomed to lie,
One for the media with its high tone,
On the television where you learn to buy.
One count to fool them all, one count to blind them,
One count to fix on so they'll never look behind them.
On the television where you learn to buy.
give me a clue so sweet and true
