Lyrics:
Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses? You’ve been out losing races for so long now Oh, you’re a hard one I know that you’ve got your reasons But I wish you would keep them To yourself and just step down Well you tried to play the race card But you're not the hating kind And that plagiarism line just never worked Now it seems you got some delegates And you’ll use them if you’re able But it only makes you look like a jerk Desperado, oh, you ain’t getting no younger Your pain and your hunger, and vanity drives you now And winning, oh winning, well that’s just some people talking Cause losing is all that you are ever gonna know Don’t your cheeks get sore from grinning all the time And the people crowd around the other guy And it’s hard to see just why you don’t go away You’re stooping to the lowest lows And you can’t seem to keep your big mouth closed these days Desperado, why don’t you see what you’re doing? The road to your ruin is the only path you’ve got You may be losing, but there’s always tomorrow You can save all that sorrow, for your Oprah guest spot Photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/llimaorosa/744250138/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/protectourprimary/468646996/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/sskennel/836612585/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/seiu/374542734/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/nrbelex/2232632457/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/pingnews/514592820/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/protectourprimary/468647902/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/midnightquill/2176811961/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/midnightquill/2245430833/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/stevegarfield/1719169405/ Audio: CBN.com, CBS on AOL

I only said that you were through Always something breaking us in two Bridge They say two democrats should run as one But we'll fight in states both red and blue Your people say you need to win just one We'll it's oh so nice to take advice from such deluded fools Could we be much closer if we tried?
