The Voter’s Lament

(to the melody of Stuck In The Middle With You)

Well, I don’t know why I came here tonight.
I’ve just got the feeling something ain’t right.
I’m so scared in case I make the wrong choice.
And I’m wond’rin’ how best to use my voice.

Clans to the left of me.
Juntas to the right.
Here I am,
Stuck in the midden with you.

Yes, it’s hard deciding — vote red or blue?
And I’m wondering what it is I should do.
Our leaders are all on the make
And people tell me that the News is all fake.

Clans to the left of me.
Juntas to the right.
Here I am,
Stuck in the midden with you.

Well, you started out with nothing
And you’re proud that your a self-made man.
And your fans they all come crawling,
Slap you on the back and say
“Plea … ea … ea … ea …ea … ease …
Plea … ea … ea … ea …ea … ease …”

Trying to make some sense of it all.
But I can see it makes no sense at all.
Is it cool if I don’t vote any more?
It really makes no difference at all.

Clans to the left of me!
Juntas to the right!
Here I am
Stuck in the midden with you.

And you started out with nothing
And you’re proud that your a self-made man.
And your fans they all come crawling
Slap you on the back and say
“Plea … ea … ea … ea …ea … ease …
Plea … ea … ea … ea …ea … ease …”

Yeah, I don’t know why I came here tonight.
I’ve just got the feeling something ain’t right.
I’m so scared in case I make the wrong choice.
And I’m wond’rin’ how best to use my voice.

Clans to the left of me!
Juntas to the right!
Here I am,
Stuck in the midden with you.

Yes I’m stuck in the midden with you.
Stuck in the midden with you.
Here I am,
Stuck in the midden with you.
