Election Song 2022
Please freely copy and distribute.
(c) 2022 Eric Dahl

As I walked across our town this morning,
thinking about election day,
I heard a sound, a deep-down warning,
they were ripping voters rights away.

You have closed our polling places,
jerrymandered crooked lines across our land.
You want to bring back old Jim Crow,
with the Supreme Court lending a helping hand.

Governor are you honest enough
to win an election that’s fair?
If you can’t win without cheating,
you’re not fit to lead us anywhere.

Do you think you’re a god who can tell our daughters
whose child they must bear?
And if you’re re-elected,
we’ll have bounty hunters blocking health care.

We understand
what you have planned.
We will vote and vote for the full rights of women.
Let democracy rule throughout our land.

Today’s news comes from Uvalde:
a story about kids calling on their cell phones
before they were slaughtered
with a legal assault gun.

Governor do you really believe
there is nothing to be done?
Just say some prayer, vague words about change,
then sell another million guns.

How do you keep those assault rifles legal?
It takes election support from the gun lobby,
but I feel a Texas wind stirring
for the children of Uvalde.

Do you feel that Texas wind blowing
for the children of our country?

Governor are you honest enough
to win an election that’s fair?
If you can’t win without cheating,
you’re not fit to lead us anywhere.

We understand
what you have planned.
We will vote and vote
for the lives of our children.

Let democracy rule throughout our land.
Let democracy rule throughout our land.
Let democracy rule throughout our land.
Let democracy rule throughout our land.
