Election day is coming, you'd better be prepared
There's Democrats, Republicans, and lesser parties will be there
And if you vote the wrong way, it'll take eight years to repair
I hope your healthcare covers you that long
So vote, vote, vote, vote today!
And if you vote Republican, your oil's on its way
And if you vote for Democrat, you can drive a brand new hybrid home today
So vote, vote, vote, vote today!
What'll we do with the Mexicans?
What'll we do with the gays?
Can Suzie get an abortion?
Will they shut down Guantanamo Bay?
If there's separation of church and state,
will the Bible-thumpers be irate?
I doubt they'll answer our questions anyway
So vote, vote, vote, vote today!
And if you vote Republican, you probably aren't gay
And if you vote for Democrat, they'll just avoid the subject anyway
So vote, vote, vote, vote today!
Seems to me that the candidacy always bears the sign of the cross,
Why is it always the Christians that become the political boss?
Do you think Jesus would really care if his fanclub finally lost?
I doubt that politics really were his way
So vote, vote, vote, vote today!
Muslims, Jews and Hindus, you'll never get your way
But Christian right has all the might, and that's the way that it is going to stay
So vote, vote, vote, vote today!
They want to send me off to war for cheaper gas and to settle a score
So help impose democracy today
Right away
Vote, vote, vote, vote today!
It isn't what ya asked for, but you get it anyway
So shut your mouth and wave your flag,
And vote for our new puppet right away
Vote, vote, vote, vote today!
Oh vote, vote, vote, vote tonight
And if you vote Republican, then be prepared to fight
And if you vote for Democrat, you won't be safe at night
And if you vote for Green Party, then cut your hair, you dirty hippie
Your reign of terror is coming either way
So vote, vote, vote, vote today!
