earth note 76

election 2000 blues

i wish i could throw enough
of a guilt trip
on those liberals
to get a few million
more votes for ralph nader & winona laduke

guess it's the jewish mother in me calling
or maybe my jewish mother
since passed

but i don't think it’ll happen
they keep looking at their stock portfolios
with their heads
so far up their asses they may never see
daylight again
thinking it's all safe in the hands of mr smooth
algore-joelieberman-nafta-gatt-worldorder
think again

you know in your gut that it will
all
eventually
break
or just die of thirst
and we'll wish we had spent more time
talking with that other
50%
who haven't yet
bothered to vote
