YOUR VOTE DOESN'T COUNT I hope you feel satisfied To cast a vote and close your eyes Pretending that you matter on this Earth Men with power call the shots But they give you a ballot box To trick you into thinking you have worth That won't pacify me So don't even try me I'm not as stupid as you seem to think I am If you want something different You won't get it through their system I reject my civic duty and their master plan Your vote doesn't count
2.
THE MEDIA HAS FAILED US The media has failed us They sold us out and betrayed our trust So grease me up and tell me lies Then pull the wool over my eyes Headlines meant to draw you in Hoping you won't question them Telling tales without the facts Hoping you will just react Turn off your TV Be careful what you read There's poison in your feed It's ignorance and greed Misinformation industry A puppet show for all to see They won't report the facts they find If it effects their bottom line Or say it once, then move along There's lighter things to focus on Beholden to their sponsorship To keep the dollars rolling in
3.
BUSINESS AS USUAL It's business as usual Distractions abound A government complicit In letting us down Voting for change is a meaningless act They will divide us in spite of the facts They gave the public Two people to hate While businessmen siphon Our future away We'll vote for corruption, no matter the choice 'Cause money in politics is drowning our voice Corporate states of America Motivated by greed Men in suits are in control Let's ship them overseas We can pretend That we have control But we get complacent In casting our votes Money is power and power's corrupt We're grasping at straws while the system erupts They gave the public Two people to hate And we didn't notice We're living as slaves Voting for change is a meaningless act They will divide us in spite of the facts Corporate states of america Motivated by greed Men in suits are in control

GIANT DOUCHE VS TURD SANDWICH Vote for Giant Douche With his amazing fresh scent He comes with extra vinegar To get that extra cleanse The other guy is shit You shouldn't vote for him A vote for Turd Sandwich Is unamerican You call this a choice? This is not a choice You call this a choice? It's not a fucking choice Vote for Turd Sandwich He's got the freshest bread We spice him to perfection And serve him with a spread A vote for Giant Douche Is a vote against yourself So vote for Turd Sandwich Cause you've got nobody else You call this a choice? This is not a choice You call this a choice? It's not a fucking choice
5.
BIGOTS IN THE BALLOT BOX There's bigots in the ballot box And racists on the loading dock You say it's up to me to stop This giant fucking voting block America is full of fear Indoctrination got us here A vote won't stop the puppeteers Just push it off for four more years It seems their system's set to fail But if the public sucks, We're fucked either way And the public... The public sucks An uneducated populace Pretending to know politics Repeating all the blatant lies Propaganda party lines Treat the symptoms, not the cause Hold out for a light applause I don't care who fucking wins The working class is caving in It seems their system's set to fail But if the public sucks, We're fucked either way And the public... The public sucks

Lose Hope 01:09
LOSE HOPE The world has always been an overwhelming pile of shit You can try to fix it, but nobody's done it yet We're not that far removed from burning people at the stake But we have the conceit to think those things have gone away Slavery and genocide and selfish, violent acts Human nature isn't just some relic of the past People are dependent on a system run by dopes Preach to me again about how voting gives you hope Everyone has a right to complain Our system has become a stupid game Believe in the ideals we were taught It's foolish to believe they're never bought I've waiting my whole life For some meaningful fucking change Gerrymandering Lose hope Blatant pandering Lose hope Police brutality Lose hope A stark reality Lose hope Voter suppression Lose hope The electoral college Lose hope Corruption and nepotism Lose hope Bribes and lobbyists Lose hope Lose hope
