I Voted For Nader by Thought Riot Lyrics
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
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

This poli-earthquake is long over due
Plastic smiles and candy lies

Promises written in sand;
