Trivia

A fun, irreverent excursus into the mind of an aspiring politician wanting to fool people into electing him. The demagogue is basically a hack who recycles himself into politics 'cause he's basically inept at anything else: he gets elected by just telling people what they want to hear, and never actually fulfills his promises once he's in office.

Fun fact: the line "I could even shoot somebody and still not losing voters" is a phrase Donald Trump did actually say during his 2016 campaign.

Lyrics

I like high salaries, but I hate to work

So here's my new idea: politics is my world

I want to be elected, but I have no idea

Of how to gain voters without effort

So now I've contacted an image consultant

And he told me that I should give people want they want

And now that I've gained a huge electorate

Nothing from my program will ever be made

Speaking of problems everyone knows

Talking to the ignorant who can't understand

Distort, simplify, pander to their mentality

Use ear-catching soundbites no one can resist to

Demagogy, demagogy

Killing political meritocracy

Demagogy, the art of good rhetoric

At the service of bad politics

Populism will be the key to my global rise

I could even shoot somebody and still not losing voters

If I were elected I'd do so many things

Quicker than anyone of my predecessors

Less taxes for everyone and more jobs for all

Forget the recession, we're past all that bullshit

Licking the asses of bigger leaders

I think I'm gonna solve huge international matters

Now that I have my comfortable seat-place

You've met the liar asshole I actually am

I'm sorry ignorant citizen, you were misinformed

And I love how you'll vote me again for the next elections

Demagogy, demagogy

Killing political meritocracy

Demagogy, the art of good rhetoric

At the service of bad politics
