Election Year lyrics

Artist  : 98 Mute 
Song : Election Year



 Send "Election Year" Ringtone to your Cell 

 
Election time time for red white and blue baby
baby kissing and photo opportunities 
Meet your candidate Ivy league white trash prim
and proper nice teeth for the t.v.  
Here to bring you to the promised land with a
porcelain smile and empty promises  
Sure he`ll take your campaign contributions but
you can bet he`ll never put your money where is
mouth is 
Did you go out and vote today?  
Do you really think it made a change?   
How did you feel when you walked away?  
Like everything will be the same?  
One thing is evident one thing is clear  
Nothing gets done in an election year  
Now let`s play watch your candidate kiss as* to
the corporate brass 
¡®cause he needs the cold hard cash  
To finance his big shot at the big dance his big
chance to be a real big man  
Campaign platforms bought and sold like futures
on the New York stock exchange  
A firesale on your future your life is their game
wouldn`t you like to play  Here we go congress one
progress zero  
You think your leaders are thinking about reform 

They`d sooner sit and watch our cities burn like
Nero  
Makes you wonder what the f**k you`re voting for 

For a change vote who the f**k are you kidding me

What we need is some good old fashioned anarchy  
You bring the torch and I`ll bring the kerosene  
We`ll strike a match and burn this f**ker down
