[Intro]
\nAnother season, (another show)
\nSame old promises, (same old flow)
\nA line of faces, (a familiar pitch)
\nPull the lever, (scratch the itch)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nFollow the crowd, repeat the phrase
\nPick your side and sing its praise
\nDon’t ask questions, don’t look twice
\nJust take the label, pay the price<\/p>\n
A little fear, a little blame
\nA different candidate, the same old game
\nThe talking points are pre-designed
\nBut who’s the one who’s using their mind?<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nPull the lever
\n(Not that clever)
\nFill the circle
\n(For mere mortal)<\/p>\n
Cast your rote vote
\n(Wasted to devote)
\nIs it a sin…
\n(To start thinkin’)<\/p>\n
A vote for the devil
\n(Is a vote for evil)
\nMake up you mind…
\n(To become kind)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nA red or blue, a name or face
\nA tribal badge, a voting place
\nBut color doesn’t make it right
\nAnd slogans don’t turn wrong to right<\/p>\n
The ballot isn’t just a game
\nA check beside a famous name
\nIt’s a choice about the world we share
\nAnd what we build, and how we care<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nPull the lever
\n(Not that clever)
\nFill the circle
\n(For mere mortal)<\/p>\n
Cast your rote vote
\n(Wasted to devote)
\nIs it a sin…
\n(To start thinkin’)<\/p>\n
A vote for the devil
\n(Is a vote for evil)
\nMake up you mind…
\n(To become kind)<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nDon’t confuse the team with truth
\nDon’t let slogans steal your youth
\nDon’t let anger make the call
\nDon’t trade your conscience for it all<\/p>\n
Read the record
\nCheck the facts
\nLook at promises
\nThen look at acts<\/p>\n
No blind devotion
\nNo automatic choice
\nDemocracy depends
\nOn an independent voice<\/p>\n
[Breakdown]
\nThink!
\n(Think for yourself!)<\/p>\n
Question!
\n(Not somebody else!)<\/p>\n
Choose!
\n(With eyes wide open!)<\/p>\n
Use!
\n(Your voice in an educated choice)<\/p>\n
[Final Refrain]
\nPull the lever
\n(Not that clever)
\nFill the circle
\n(For mere mortal)<\/p>\n
Cast your rote vote
\n(Wasted to devote)
\nIs it a sin…
\n(To start thinkin’)<\/p>\n
A vote for the devil
\n(Is a vote for evil)
\nMake up your mind…
\n(To become kind)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\nNo rote vote, no blind allegiance
\nNo borrowed thoughts, no false convenience
\nA little reason, a little light
\nCan help us make a better choice… alright!<\/p>\n
Pull the lever?
\n(Think it through!)
\nFill the circle?
\n(The choice is you!)<\/p>\n
Make up your mind…
\n(To become kind)<\/p>\n
