lyrics

Election Day by Jen Lane

i set out on election day, i voted for elizabeth may
and i warned everyone they should stay on my page
but they all sat at home and just waited for change

i would have been happy on election day,
if i’d have been from the united states
oh, cause back in the parliament buildings this time
they’re taking your money, and giving you mine

so i threw up my hands and i shut off the news,
and i moved way up north and became a recluse
and i grew my own food and i shot my own meat
and i never missed all the shit i used to eat

i was free

i set out on election day, i voted for the one with the brains
and i asked all the people to join me in line
they said, “nothing will change girl, you’re wasting your time”
