Political ditty about a Connecticut Senate race.
A mix of handcrafted MIDI tracks, Band-in-a-Box accompaniment tracks, and electric and acoustic guitars.

Story behind the song
Connecticut Senate Race - 2006
Lyrics
Oh I gotta be a Senator It’s what I’m meant to be Even our fine President Does not disagree Some silly lefty bloggers Are leading folks astray And pushing for a Democrat To take my job away (chorus) But it’s my job dammit I’ve had it 18 years And if I don’t win the primary (the way things now appear) I’ll change my party status Make an independent run ‘cause that asinine electorate Thinks my time is done Some may say that an election Should decide the people’s choice But an election that does not pick me Will miss some people’s voice So screw the Dem electorate What the hell do they know I know what is best for them That’s why they call me “holy Joe” (chorus) And it’s my job dammit I’ve had it 18 years And if I don’t win the primary (the way things now appear) I’ll change my party status Make an independent run ‘cause that asinine electorate Thinks my time is done (spoken verse) I’ll change my views on many things To gain a few more votes I’ve redefined myself more times Than I can even quote Liberal, moderate, conservative It matters not, you see As long as I can hold the post That rightfully belongs to me (chorus) 'cause it’s my job dammit I’ve had it 18 years And if I don’t win the primary (the way things now appear) I’ll change my party status Make an independent run ‘cause that asinine electorate Thinks my time is done
