Story Behind the Song
Pretty straight forward, kind of a follow-up to the "Hop The Train" song "It's America". . .
Lyrics
(Various T.V. sound bites in background)
You've got to fudge the facts, make things muddy.
Make a speech, now do a study.
Fudge the facts, make things clear.
Kiss a baby, it's Election Year.
Get T.V. time, and show your face.
Get on the tube man, get in the race.
Point your finger, now point it, point it.
It's all their fault, but you can't change, it's Election Year.
Become a lawyer, to save the world.
Into the lions, you are hurled.
When you climb up that hill again.
You're given your own, lion's den.
See, to the victor go the spoils.
Let the losers weep and toil.
Desaraging fires burn.
Worry only about another term, it's Election Year.
Spend millions on the campaign trail.
Shoot a duck, and save a whale.
Buy a bus, to show your roots.
Plant a tree, wear cowboy boots, it's Election Year.
