The dirty tricks department is working overtime
                                   A               E
Trying to stop the candidate from getting in this time
                          A                  E
Wheels are now in motion, all the traps are set
                            A              E
Under this commotion he’ll walk into this net

The state's intoxicated, they're at the starting gate
                              A           E
He may never make it to the planned TV debate
                              A              E
Can't fight off the big bucks of the old brigade
                          A                 E
He's gotta watch his step in this Smear Campaign

They called a snap election in the summer heat 
 
This town is reeling backwards like a drunk man on the streets

Feed those lies, bend those minds at any price
 A                                                   B
Foul or fair, as long as he's not there at election time

Don't believe the papers it's not anybody's race 
                                A                E
He's not a rank beginner, it's not a children's game
                             A                       E
He may get the nomination if he breaks through the chain
                                         A                 E
Or they'll shoot him down on main street in this Smear Campaign

Just watch the party faithful fuel the dream machine
                                  A                  E
They've fudged up all the issues, eat that scandal sheet
                                A             E
The dirty tricks department is nearly half insane 
                              A               E
Trying to stop the candidate with a Smear Campaign
