Election Blues Lyrics

Election’s over
My man didn't finish the run
Election’s over
My man didn't finish the run
Dick's on the throne again baby
Leaning so far to the right that we might fall

When voting time came
Most people didn't turn out at all
When election time came
Most people didn't even bother to turn out
They say I can't be bothered
Don't know what voting’s all about
And I had a flat tire

(Solo)

In four more years
I hope you slackers change your way
In four more years
I hope you slackers change your way
Get the right man in office
We'll all have much more to say

This world's been run by the old
Just too old to change their way
This world's been run by the old
Too darn gone old to change their way
Get someone thick like me and you
We won’t have these election blues

Election’s over
My man didn't even finish the run
Election’s over
My man didn't even finish the run
Dick's on the throne again baby
Leaning so far right that we might fall in

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
