Don't Vote

[Verse 1]

Your uncle had an old saying:

“If you don’t vote, then you can’t complain”

Sizing up candidates, first election day

You thought, “I’m eighteen and have no opinion either way”

[Verse 2]

You had a lot of friends, but no peers

Could you imagine this could drag on four more years?

If one day you had more peers than friends

It’s because your means had caught up with your ends

[Verse 3]

Jaws are wagging, “The one or the two?”

Eager to put John Hancock on the "Who’s who"

Voting seemed almost like a disease

An absolute a day, feeling ill at ease

[Verse 4]

You thought about becoming a cop

Any job with a helmet, in case of a drop

You did what anyone else would do in your place

You toyed with the idea of entering the race

[Verse 5]

Instead of living in your own filth

You had the nerve to think crop could spring from your till

You were called diva by a protective young man

They still call you every name they can

[Verse 6]

It must be hard sometimes not to complain

But that’s the deal your uncle once explained

If not choosing was accepted as a trade

Not voting would be the smartest choice you’ve made

[Outro]

Don't vote
