They call him Johnny One-Note, these repeaters of the news.
They say he only talks of war; only sings Iraqi blues.
When he tries to speak of other things; valid points, other views
The press just types out “Anti-war”; his other points refused.
When he speaks of trade and jobs and privacy their printer’s ink runs dry
As if they don’t want these other things to ever reach your eye.
The story line has been foretold; there’s no need to even try
To get the message out that he’s more than “No War Guy”.
Any press is good press; that’s how the adage goes
But the person that they write about and who the public knows
Has been defined by someone else and so his altered ego grows
The single-issue candidate they write about has been painted head to toe.
Now the war is an issue that deserves a full debate
And the challenger has every right to give it extra weight
But the press has an obligation to the voters of this state To report a clearer picture, not hold back till it’s too late
There is going to be a primary where the Democrats will decide
Who will represent them; who’ll take on the other side
We should vote our hopes and values; we should cast our vote with pride
And we should cast our vote with knowledge that our eyes were open wide
If the media won’t show you everything that they should show
Mark Wilson’s got a website where I hope that you will go
To read about the person, his positions, all those things you need to know
Vote Mark dot Org because the main stream media blows
