Hypothetically Elected to Further Designs

Let's say, you have a unanimous support base
Since nobody knows your record
No one can attack your legerdemain
You could say anything you'd like
Certainly the 'on-board' critics would agree
As you flash cards of monsters
To dazzle the pupils
All graduates of Social University
& Politically Connected Corporate Community College
But it ain't me
It ain't me
I've received hard fought paper
From the Institute of Philosophical Beauty
While minoring
In poems of love
And the cinema shot
In the dark night of the soul
After learning to turn
Base metals into gold
As simple as
A kiss into a memory
I was drug through the muck
To be hung out to dry
