Tell me what I want to hear

Tell me what I want to hear
Don't question things that I hold dear
Don't burden me with fret or fear
I'll turn away and close my ear
Tell me what i want to hear

Say the things I hope you'll say
Make me happy, for today
Extol the virtues of our way
Promise heretics will pay
Say the things I hope you'll say

Demonize whom I despise
Delineate deceits and lies
Condemn instead of criticize
Devastate, do not incise
Demonize whom I despise

Reassure me that in sooth
Their arguments are void of proof
That facts they cite belie the truth
In our belief we stand aloof
From twisted word and clever spoof

Tell me what I want to hear
And I will smile from ear to ear
And I will vote for you this year
Speak for me, I'll nod and cheer
Tell me what I want to hear

--------
Sorry: It's a slow morning here.
