nathan asher and the infantry - the last election lyrics
[verse one]
well i guess that this means that we have to choose now
they’re with the millennium and the world hadn’t ended
but i wouldn’t start wiping the sweat off your brow
there’s still enough weapons to k!ll all seven billion of us
the presidents driving air force one
his daddy gave him the keys and he’s drunk
the governor with brothers from texas is next to his lexis
runs on tax incentives, oil, and misdirection
who are these clowns? why do they decide
basic things for me like if i live or die?
i don’t wanna move, i don’t wanna make a choice
i just wanna kiss the girls and hang out with the boys
[chorus]
it’s the last election
choose a direction
any direction
any direction
any direction
[verse two]
how do poor people keep from going insane?
without television, they must have religion
outdressed and outdated but they can explain
our dark predilections the human condition
the king of the terrorists tugs at his beard
mugs for the cameras and then disappears
his geons adoring morons worshiping the choron
misinterpreting verses to avoid feeling human
who are these fools? why do they act like that?
have some self-respect, don’t strap a bomb to your back
you wanna take my life which is all i got left
you should at least know my name my age and my s-x
[chorus]
it’s the last election
find some protection
a little protection
a little protection
a little protection
[verse three]
well i’m a great believer in the freedom of the press
and it’s been a huge success judging by the way we dress
everything we buy gives someone else a voice
those shoes were a choice this cd was a choice
the anchor for c-span entertainment news
mugs as he smiles at the face in his shoes
and see big money looks funny
as he’s accepting his grammys
stammering thanks to god and family
for a song called “drugs and p-ssy”
who are these performers? i didn’t vote ’em in
but they represent my country everywhere i’ve been
in 3,000 years they’ll wonder who we are
they can just check the emmys, the grammys, and the pop charts
c’mon!
[chorus]
it’s the last election
use some discretion
a little discretion
a little discretion
a little discretion
[verse four]
i saw a beautiful girl walking through the parking lot
outside of the target, next to the supermarket
she smiled at me i’d almost forgot
the power of love, it made me feel young
george washington’s ghost is making out in the park
with harriet tubman as the sky grows dark
harry houdini’s doing tricks for his mother ’til
someone comes along and tries to punch him in the stomach
lincoln is drinking with jfk in the kitchen discussing
visions of electrical engines and global bridges
who’s future is this? i disagree privately
but i still pay the tolls so they don’t shut down the highways
if i see that girl, imma take her out for dinner
and if i’m feeling lucky, i might even try to kiss her
[bridge]
so here we are
this could be…
c’mon!
[chorus]
the last election
find a connection
any connection
any connection
any connection
[harmonica outro]
