New lyrics by Chris Simanonis (of Barcus Poco) and myself.
Vote
Show me that a vote still matters
Show it's not for show
For it seems that each November
Winds of change delivers status quo
Are elections thin illusions?
Between a choice of two few?
Choose a person ...
... and their party whisks them off to Washington
To join rank and file
Just wink and smile
It’s all about the spin
Hard facts be damned
Ignore good sense
When others lose we win
Marching lockstep
Takes you places
Special interests control ...
Campaigns serve their moneyed masters
Careful not to rock the party boat
Wait ...
ALL the runners promise change
And they say they're the ones who can change things
What exactly can they change?
Nothing changes
Party reigns
Time to send the parties packing
Time to send them home
Time to call the party over
Time to send them all home
Pop the special party favors
They grew too big and failed us
Time to start some other parties
Time to send that message when we vote
