All candidates look the same
that is part of their game
and what they do to you
will always be the same
CHORUS:
Don’t vote, don’t vote, don’t vote. . .
it’s a capitalist hoax. . .
Businessmen in suits
white shirts and boring ties
even the women
look like one of the guys
The free election of
the masters so they say
will never never never
never never never free the slaves
Now voting is a hoax
don’t listen to your folks
cuz it doesn’t matter who
when they’re fucking over you
So on November seven
the next best place to heaven
is staying home in bed
and giving your lover head
Nobody for President
Nobody for Mayor
Vote for Nobody because
Nobody really cares!!
