about

Post Election Day:
In the 2014 midterm elections less people voted than in any election cycle since World War II.
I wrote this hungover the following morning. In hind-sight the “mob neutrality” displayed that day caused the shift of power in Congress that put us all on a collision course with Donald Trump two years later. I guess every election does matter after all.

lyrics

What good’s an answer that no one will ask for?
Since you’re doing what you’re told,
Then why won’t you ask for more?
‘Cause it’s no coincidence the interested will have their way
Toppling what would stand again and again
I’m nursing this hangover, Post Election Day
And taking this walk of shame

As it seems that no answer from above
Will satisfy the mob’s
Complicity in all insistent
Neutrality betrayed
Each of us the day we went about our way

Who’d want to give what we’ve taken as granted
On the backs of better men
We’re twisting intention
Now do you truly believe it, that this course will sustain?
Confront or deny what lies in front of your face
This new state of nation, come Post Election Day
Inaugurate your fear and rage

As it seems that no answer from above
Will satisfy the mob’s
Complicity in all insistent
Neutrality betrayed
Each of us the day we went about our way
