    Story Behind the Song
    Well, I like to play slide guitar and the blues, people who don't vote have a good reason for not voting: None of the people on the ballot are worthy of their vote. Hence a song about it: Lets put a box in to let people vote for None of the Above

    Lyrics
    None of the Above

    From Maine to California, when it is voting day
    They say that it’s a mystery why so many folks stay away
    And if all the people’s wishes were tallied up by the GOV’ment
    The undisputed winner would be:

    I’m not talking about no sister living up in the sky
    But to say a CANDIDATE won the race is just a big lie
    It’s the people that aren’t voting that feel pushed around and shoved
    Its time they recognize who really won (the race, its):

    The say that in this country: “we all have an equal voice”
    But if you check your ballot, well there really ain’t much choice
    For its money puts them in power, yeah its money before love
    Its time they put a box in that lets you vote for:

    If you want to see those bigshots start shaking in their shoes
    We’re going to have to show them that most people live the blues
    Your ballot may not have a box for none of the above
    But you can always write in: Right in that blank box at the bottom

    None of the above
    None of the above
    There’d be no one in the White House, but:
    None of the above

    None of the above
    None of the above
    They’d post it in the papers who really won:
    It’d say None of the above


    None of the above
    None of the above
    Let’s make them put a box in that lets you vote for:
    None of the above.

    None of the above
    None of the above
    Let them know you mean it
    Go and vote for: None of the above

    {Now this song isn’t about convincing you folks who
    vote for any decent candidate to change the way you vote,
    Its for you people who don’t vote and don’t think it makes
    A difference if you do.
    Now all I’m saying is, if you can’t in good conscience
    Vote for any candidate on the ballot
    Then let’s use that blank spot at the bottom
    To write in: None of the above.
    After all, if that’s what the majority wants
    Then that’s we ought to be able to vote for.
    And we should be able to get such a vote counted in a
    True democracy.
    Look if nothing else, let’s have some fun with the way we vote
    When they print the election results in the paper
    Make sure they put a number next to:
    None of the above
