I have to admit, I've been totally inspired by "my dear county" by Norah Jones. I loved the idea behind her song, so I took the essence and ran with it. I think all these months of listening to political bands, such as Flogging Molly has surely been an influence as well. So here's my first upfront political song.
It’s Halloween night
That’s a sure scary sight
Keep your eyes shut tight
No telling what it’s gonna be like
Little devils are out
Gone hunting tonight
And mothers will cry
The poison comes from inside
A predator
Of the worst kind
And try as I might
I just can’t rest my head tonight
Cause 3 days have gone
And the race is on
“You vote for what’s right,
but I’ll take what ain’t mine.”
And the mission is for submission
Euphoric donkey ride
And the intention we just won’t mention
Cause elephants can fly
On election night
Who can explain
Where were are today?
No anchorman could tell
How this card would play
I just wanted to shake
Somebody sane
When they called out his name
Sure hope he’s not deranged
It’s a nasty time
When the big boys fight
Over candied words
That widen our divide
We just trust in them
Sure they can decide
But he wants to be king
Put the commander aside
And the mission is for submission
Euphoric donkey ride
And the intention we just won’t mention
Cause elephants can fly
On election night
Tell you what
I’m sure glad I can say
That I don’t like the way
He plays this game
Guess my freedoms sound
It can’t move with all their might
Even if I sing this song
About election night
And the mission is for submission
Euphoric donkey ride
And the intention we just won’t mention
Cause elephants can fly
On election night
