Breaking us in Two:

Do you need a soundbite for the news?
Don’t you feel like when we fight it breaks the party in two?
All your staring makes me nervous and that pantsuit makes you look huge
Always something breaking us in two

You and I could never run as one
But don’t you think you tried and cried and maybe your race is run?
why does what I”m saying hurt you? 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?
I could reach across and poke my finger in your eye
Maybe we could last one more debate maybe then we’d see right through
Always something breaking us in two
