Cover art for Institution Green lyrics by Suzanne Vega

Abortion - I never thought of that but maybe.

I thought the song was literally about voting. It is about the alienation we feel when we go along to have "our say" about how society should be run. It is a lonely task, difficult because we never know the truth about what's happening anyway....

Actually I think abortion makes more sense -"cast my vote" is a reference to having a "choice" and wondering how much value there is in the choice - yeah actually I think you're rights mila.
