Take this Message to the President - Lyrics

Take this message to the president

He might not want to know
he may say don't count the votes

People are talking they've been hearing the news
the war is going so badly they're gonna blame it on you

Heard it on the news, there weren't any weapons there

We got a back door draft -
soldiers can come back home
the war was wrong and it goes on
and on and on for far too long

We can't rule the world
we should give those oilfields back

Seven trillion dollar deficit
and who'se gonna pay?

The jobs are gone gone gone
and folks are trying to hold on

I hope he reads his mail
he may find a pink slip there

He tried to rule the world
he tried to grab some oil wells there

Take this message to the president

He might not want to know
he may say don't count the votes

Get out the Vote

This short country style tune, Get out the vote, was a huge hit last election. People all over the country listened to it, and we can assume that somebody out there who otherwise wouldn't have voted must have been moved to vote as a result. We just have to believe that.

Get out the Vote: longer version, (1:28), is certainly more opinionated, probably obsolete now, as it refers back to the election fiasco in Florida in 2000 and calls on everyone to support democracy by voting. This version is complete with vocal harmonies, banjo, bass, and mandolin, and of course the message: Get out the vote!

Get out the Vote: short version (0:43), is non-partisen and encourages everyone to get out and vote. It sounds like a Pete Seager style folk song with solo voice and guitar, great for election day public service anouncements.

Get out the vote - Longer Version Lyrics

Chorus:
Get out get out the vote
and let your voice be heard!

Verse:
Well it wasn't very long ago, down in Florida state
A lot of good people's votes weren't counted
Supreme court ruled it was too late so...

Get out the vote... and let your voice be heard

Verse:
Well if you believe in Democracy, and counting up every vote
it's time to take this country back
from the folks who don't

So get out the vote ... and let your voice be heard!

 

Get out the vote - Shorter Version Lyrics

Chorus:
Get out get out the vote
and let your voice be heard!

Verse:
Well if you believe in Democracy, and counting up every vote
Now's the time go to the polls, you'll be sorry if you don't

So get out the vote ... and let your voice be heard!
