Who bores the crowd and brays so loud
Barry, he's the campaign man
Who's gonna lead the show
You know, Barry, He's the campaign man

He once made us hope
He then made us cry
He then brought us down
(Does he still get high?)
Somethin' keeps him goin'
Miles and miles a day
To find another course to play

Night after night who seeks the light
Barry, He's the campaign man
Who's on the video
You go listen to the campaign man

Then he comes to town
And you see disgrace
And you think you want
'nother in his place
Somethin' gets him driftin'
Miles and miles away
Not readin' what prompter says

As you listen to the speeches
And try to hear along
You try to hear the meaning
From each word and know it's wrong
Then you find inside the message
And some words to call your own
It's bubble foam

He one made us hope
Now we can get high
The truth brings us down
Then we'll start to cry
Somethin' keeps him movin'
And everybody knows
He's looking for loads more dough

Then the lights begin to flicker
And the teleprompter's dim
The lies begin to falter
And the crowds are getting thin
But he never seems to notice
He's just got to find
Another course to play

Either way
Got to play
Either way
Got to play
