if i was told i had to choose between
mccain, obama, none would get my vote
two evils, they would find my vote unseen
it's un-American and most obscene
when constantly harangued to "rock the vote"
and told i had to choose only between
a fascist or a socialist, i mean
c'mon, am i as stupid as a goat?
two evils, they would find my vote unseen
i'd rather eat then vomit up my spleen
and swim with alligators in a moat
if i was told i had to choose between
two know-nothings with brains drunk on caffeine
all energy, no substance worth to note
two evils, they would find my vote unseen
when the Establishment sets up the scene
and narrows choices, it strangles my throat
if i was told i had to choose between
two evils, they would find my vote unseen
(C)2008, Christos Rigakos
