Ramshackle Glory > Live the Dream Of Ballots and Barricades - Live
Lyrics
I got Arizona residency one day too late
To vote on this election day
And every year before I've been too drunk to register
I'd say "I don't believe in it anyway"
I still shake my head at ballots cast for elephants
I shake my head at ballots cast for donkeys
'Cause I swear to god our leaders, they will be death of us
There's no ballot we can cast to set us free
But there's no brick we can throw that will end poverty
You can't blow up Sb1070
Things will never be as simple as
When I was twelve years old
Reading Karl Marx in my bedroom alone
And since there have been laws
There have been criminals
There have been thieves since there's been property
And the day will come again
When none of those things are around
I just hope it's before people go extinct
So vote November 2nd if it seems right to you
Don't vote if you think it just holds us down
Just tell me what we're gonna do on November 3rd
To make sure there's no government
Left to elect two years from now
Just tell me what we're gonna do on November 3rd
To make sure there's no government
Left to elect two years from now
