Like a dead armadillo in the middle of the road

November 8, 2026


There's nothing in the middle of the road but a yellow stripe and dead armadillos.
–Jim Hightower

Sells his soul for a nickel
While the country goes to rot
His word means as much
As a bucket full of snot

Two-faced politician, slimy as a toad
Like a dead armadillo in the middle of the road


He’s crooked to the core
His conscience is infected
He’ll promise you the moon
Until he gets elected

Two-faced politician, slimy as a toad
Like a dead armadillo in the middle of the road


Compromising with the Devil
He’s fawning and polite
He’ll mortgage off the future
And sign away your rights

Two-faced politician, slimy as a toad
Like a dead armadillo in the middle of the road


Put him under a light
And watch him expire
He’s allergic to the sunshine
Like every other vampire

Two-faced politician, slimy as a toad
Like a dead armadillo in the middle of the road
