Thought Riot - I Voted For Nader lyrics

rate me

Poignantly phrased to shift the burden of the blame

Sick and tired but you keep on marching in their same old parade

Accuse, construe - dare I even venture - abuse,

Frustrations channelled through the paths worn well with use

Binary politics, packaged sound bite rhetoric;

And you think it makes no difference?

Watered down party lines, beholden to corporate ties;

And you still inquire why?

Maybe you can tell me when my vote was decided for me?

Oh, oh... Oh ,oh

I guess the enemy of the enemy, is still the fucking enemy

Oh, oh... Oh ,oh.

And one more time around,

The played out reasons why:

"Jack knife the diesel to let the bicycle pass on by"

Reproaching failed attempts

At restoring representative government

This poli-earthquake is long over due

Plastic smiles and candy lies,

Prestige built on family ties;

And you find it so offensive.

Dirty mouths and muddied hands,

Promises written in sand;

Still every election you comply?

Maybe you can tell me when my vote was decided for me?

Oh, oh... Oh ,oh

I guess the enemy of the enemy, is still the fucking enemy

Oh, oh... Oh ,oh.

A pointed finger, a furrowed brow,

Relying on the way's it's been,

To get us through the now

A waning courage, just play it safe.

Well this is where safe's landed us: The problems of today!

Reach out a broken hand! - You have the right to make demands!

Reach out a broken hand! - We have the right to make demands!

Maybe you can tell me when my vote was decided for me?

Oh, oh... Oh ,oh

I guess the enemy of the enemy, is still the fucking enemy

Oh, oh... Oh ,oh.
