Rock the Vote! (To the melody of "In the Mood")
alternative blues comedy
Story behind the song
The way to get rid of those in office, rather than simply complaining, is to register to vote and then to VOTE! I play acustic and electric guitars and five-string bass (no, silly, not at the same time!)
Lyrics
If you read the news it's just disgusting today
And it's too depressing to support it their way
So you haven't voted, maybe years have gone by
Figured that you couldn't change it, why even try
You've been putting up with all the powers-that-be
Depressed, disgusted, jaded: call it Apathy.
You don't like the politicians, think they're no good
You can make Democracy work just like it should
'Cause Progressive's how the Democrats used to be
We can take the Party back, you just wait and see
We have got te get right out and take it all back
The country can be saved if we all get on track
(Chorus)
In the Mood-- for something better
In the Mood-- working together
In the Mood-- you know the way now
You're gonna make it happen when you vote Al Gray now [or insert name of your choice]
