A sentiment of frustration with our leaders who play loose with the truth is felt by many in this land. "The line" is a plea for words and promises we can trust.

The line (voters lament)

can't believe that the time has come
once again we gotta see them run
ride on a bus from state to state
drive step it up, you know they cannot be late
the people impatiently wait
ref
tell me no lie
tell me the truth
tell me the things i can expect out of you
if i cast my vote
if i take the time
will you do me proud
if i just stand in the line
vs 2
like a rock star at the podium
the people cheer them on
run, rudy, run
you're the one can do the turn around
before you hit the road
promise you won't let us down
the folks of this small midwest town
ref
tell us what is
and what it will be
don't make it up
that's something we don't need
out on a limb
take just one chance
don't mess it up
or we'll have to end this romance
bridge
end this dance
and there won't be a second chance
give it all that you can
ref
finale
that's all i've got to say
i think
but wait
tell me no lie
tell me the truth
that is the least
i expect out of you
