lyrics

Florida

I was voting for this Democrat as I sat back staring at a voting booth
trying not to laugh at the brat, who saw my hat and thought that I was cool.
Apathy and her grin begins the sin that haunts my politics.
I don’t want to be the freeze-frame pod, who mows the lawn when it’s said and done.

I was watching CNN, CSPAN, too, Geraldo and the local news
trying not to laugh at the fact that I was busy watching all these worthless dudes
Polls! Polls! And more Polls! Where’s my soul on this TV screen?
I don’t want to be a number child stuck in the mobile with the ballot blues again.

And, why don’t you just walk away.

I was talking to my friend about election time, all these rhyming crimes of speech,
trying not to laugh at the words and the rhetoric of all these buzzing bees.
Suicide, some issues die, some people cry, but only when it counts.
I don’t want to be the only one without a gun trying to avoid my rights.

And, why don’t you just walk away.

I don’t want to be an electorate of my life
Waiting by these twenty-five to decide.

I was hitching for the South, itching for a trip down to Voting, Florida,
Trying not to sneeze with allergies at palm tree dreams and young retirees.
Apathy and her lost begins to toss these dimpled sheets of fame.
I don’t want to be a part of past, a history, without a single word to say.

And, why don’t you just walk away.

Everybody grab a Mai Tai,
everyone sing and dance
everybody grab a girl, now,
it’s time for romance.
Everyone get a sun tan
and jump in the pool,
everyone’s on vacation,
everyone’s drunk and cool.

Freedom is responsibility,
freedom is Florida.
