election day

where do i stand what do i say

what is there left at the end of the day to explain

again and again

i'll think of something and the i make up my mind

the curtain is closing

i don't really want to be falling behind

this time

running away with the thought

that life's gonna change

it's a banquet of lies

i count down the hours

the minutes

no matter how hard that i try

i know we all act surprised

there's no running away

on election day

well i think i know but then i guess that i don't

how can i make up my mind and still vote and remain

in your game

maybe it's nothing but it could change my life

when the airheads are running away

with all of the good things i like

hey! where do i sign

running away with the thought

that life's gonna change

it's a banquet of lies

as they roll out the news painted in red then painted in blue

i know we all act surprised

there's no running away

on election day

running away with the thought

that life's gonna change

it's a banquet of lies

i count down the hours

the minutes

but no matter how hard that i try

then we all act surprised

there's no running away

on election day
