Lesson #217
Oh Election Day
Oh Election Day
Results are in, you saved my life
I cried and waited up with you all night
But you didn't elect to stay with me
The poor are jumping the barricades
The virgins shamed and us whores the same
Just like the Epic of Gilgamesh
Expecting someone else to clean up your mess
I am a militant pacifist
When this war is over watch my slit my wrists
You can't change the world it's true
Without it changing you
Oh Election Day
Oh Election Day
I can't live without you in my life
I waited up for you all night
I wonder which will end first
What's worse I'm cursed
But the stage direction's clear
Wash up get your money and get out of here
Come watch the grain elevators burst
We're well fed but nothing touches the thirst
We're well spoken of in the past tense
A craving for freedom and independence
Grows only in a man still living on hope
At the end of a rope
Oh these jokes are old
Oh these jokes are old
Baby I hope never by mistake
You buy a hours in a fugue state
The sun's gone down and its getting late
Yet we still wait
Oh Election Day
Results are in, you saved my life
I cried and waited up with you all night
But you didn't elect to stay with me
The poor are jumping the barricades
The virgins shamed and us whores the same
Just like the Epic of Gilgamesh
Expecting someone else to clean up your mess
I am a militant pacifist
When this war is over watch my slit my wrists
You can't change the world it's true
Without it changing you
Oh Election Day
Oh Election Day
I can't live without you in my life
I waited up for you all night
I wonder which will end first
What's worse I'm cursed
But the stage direction's clear
Wash up get your money and get out of here
Come watch the grain elevators burst
We're well fed but nothing touches the thirst
We're well spoken of in the past tense
A craving for freedom and independence
Grows only in a man still living on hope
At the end of a rope
Oh these jokes are old
Oh these jokes are old
Baby I hope never by mistake
You buy a hours in a fugue state
The sun's gone down and its getting late
Yet we still wait
