My Give-A-Damn's Busted

[forceworks]

Heads of state
Determine our fate
But my give-a-damn's busted.

I've no idea who's in the senate,
If a seat's open, or who wants to win it.
My give-a-damn's busted.

Supposed word-origin of politics:
Poly meaning many. Ticks being blood-sucking insects.
My give-a-damn's busted.

Is pro to con like progress to congress?
If so, why do like children they seem regressed?
My give-a-damn's busted.

Republican, Democrat
Politician, Bureaucrat
My give-a-damn's busted.

Alas, I could never be elected.
And Tom Clancy's suggestions would be rejected.
My give-a-damn's busted.
