My husband, who hasn't voted since Goldwater ran for President, has become inspired by meeting and hearing Dennis Kucinich; so much that he is now running for a local political office.

Between you and me, here's a radical thought
We used to be free but now we really are not
We didn't elect the President we've got
Maybe things'll get a little better in November
Maybe things'll get a little better.

Republican schemes'll saddle up and ride
The voting machines'll say what they decide
Candidates can run but they sure can't hide
Maybe things'll get a little better in November
Maybe things'll get a little better.

(Chorus)
Work your fingers to the bone-- whaddya get?
Bony fingers... bony fingers.

The Constitution wasn't written like this
Just look around you, there's something amiss
Vote 'em out of office is the way to resist
We can make it better in November if we wanna
We can make it better in November.

(Repeat chorus)

(Thanks to Hoyt Axton for the original song. Hope he doesn't mind [and that he votes.])
