Another Swan Song

Though we'll see if the gander knows his goose is cooked, to butcher a phrase.

It ain't Blackfive - but here it is anyway. Damn you Matty! You chose a much better song than I did!

Howard Dean Covers, "Don't cry for me Argentina"

Don't cry for me America!
The truth is I never had you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I blew my promise
You kept your distance

It wasn't easy, you thought me strange
When I tried to explain how I feel
That I still need your votes after all that I've done

You don't believe me
All you will see is a man the press drew
Although I was dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you

I had to let it happen, I had to charge
Couldn't stay all my life not President -
Not in the spotlight, feeding my ego...

So I chose madness
Running around, trying anything new
But nothing impressed you at all
You never expected it to

Chorus:

Don't cry for me America!
The truth is I never had you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I blew my promise
You kept your distance

And as for fortune, and as for fame
I pandered to them all
'Til it seemed to the world they were all I desired

I'm an illusion
I'm not the solution I promised to be
The answer was there all the time
I loathe you and know you loathe me.

Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you.
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word isn't true

(chorus)

Don't cry for me America!
The truth is I never had you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I blew my promise
You kept your distance
