A long long time ago I can still remember how this nation used to make me smile And I knew when we had our chance that we could help the people dance and maybe they’d be happy for a while
But this November made me shiver with every e-vote they delivered bad news on the doorstep that happened while we all slept I do remember that I cried when I heard about his sickened bride and it angered me deep inside the day democracy died
So bye bye, it’s America’s Lie drove my family to the polls but the liars were sly changed the votes to make his totals so high leaving all of us asking why how could our democracy die
Did you read all the voting laws and do all you could for this just cause and volunteer to poll watch too and did they just count on all the flaws grabbing evidence in their grubby paws leaving us the only choice to sue
Well I know they faked it all for him as they tried to cast votes inside the gym the machines failed to work gave all the votes to the jerk I saw them standing in the rain waiting to end all our pain I was a lonely mom from out of state attempting to affect our fate but I had too much on my plate the day democracy died
I started cryin’ So bye bye, it’s America’s Lie drove my family to the polls but the liars were sly changed the votes to make his totals so high leaving all of us asking why how could our democracy die
Now for eight years we had a big surplus and we knew it surely was a must to keep fighting for the status quo when the swift boats came out on the scene we knew the fighting wasn’t clean and the press was acting way too slow and while the folks were looking ‘round we put more soldiers in the ground Cheney told the tale Ebay was having a sale while the public read the book from O’Neil the rest of us began to reel this was how we came to feel the day democracy died we started screaming
So bye bye, it’s America’s Lie drove my family to the polls but the liars were sly changed the votes to make his totals so high leaving all of us asking why how could our democracy die
Helter skelter in Iraqi swelter Bin Laden found a cave for safety shelter and our troops were falling fast but our leader just wasn’t concerned the people voting still hadn’t learned that their future was already in the past now the Kerry campaign was full of hope we thought for sure we could beat the dope we all showed up to cheer but they beat us down with fear when we tried to tell them all the truth they kept us from the camera booth Zell Miller was just so uncouth the day democracy died
we started fighting So bye bye, it’s America’s Lie drove my family to the polls but the liars were sly changed the votes to make his totals so high leaving all of us asking why how could our democracy die
The problems weren’t all just in one place our efforts weren’t all just a waste there’s no time left to cry or wail so come on Bev be nimble, Ida be quick lets work to stick it to that prick cause McCain might really be his only friend And as I watched him on the stage My hands were clenched in fists of rage just tell me what the hell makes them think that he’s so swell our prayers rang out through the night and they didn’t all come from the right we’ll fight him now with all our might the day democracy died
We need a recount
So bye bye, it’s America’s Lie drove my family to the polls but the liars were sly changed the votes to make his totals so high leaving all of us asking why how could our democracy die
I saw some states were proudly blue I knew that they all had a clue of exactly what was at stake we must now stand side by side and we must never run and hide we must make sure that we all stay awake and in the street the people streamed they couldn’t give up the things they dreamed they weren’t about to pout but the church bells drowned them out and the people I admire most mostly live somewhere on our coast to them I now say a toast the day democracy died
We need some protests
So bye bye, it’s America’s Lie drove my family to the polls but the liars were sly changed the votes to make his totals so high leaving all of us asking why how could our democracy die
