We wait with bated breath, to who will kill the rest of us ?
Whether in an Aleppo sky or hung on a wall
A white vigilantly or a dollar bill that falls on Clinton’s floor
We wait with bated breath for those that will kill us all
The black noose will become an accessory in Georgia
Or a closed shop on Capitol Hill
With each candidate you and me never win
We wait with vile breath, who will strangle the rest of us?
And in this coffin that you have neatly made, with Jefferson and Lincoln nailed inside, one of you has blown the races apart
And stuck a bullet neatly in your side
We waited with bated breath …
And now we know
Who will kill the rest of us?

I'm unsure of the meaning of a number of your lines David however there is a feeling of derangement running through them. I will reserve my position on the suitability of the two main contestants; or maybe I wont. Tommy
