 LYRICS

(We're going to scrub the voter rolls again
We're gonna throw your vote in the recycle bin
We're gonna make sure Bush and Cheney win)

I'm going to vote today
Hope my vote isn't thrown away
These days it's hard to tell
Thanks to fascists like Wally O'Dell

He's pledged my vote to Bush
No matter which button I might push
The diabolical Diebold plan
The next election will be a sham...

Black Box Voting
Government is up for sale
Black Box Voting
The GOP will never fail
Black Box Voting
Never leave a paper trail

I'm fighting for a cause
I want to work to change the laws
I've got a snowball's chance in Hell
Thanks to fascists like Wally O'Dell

He's diehard GOP
He doesn't care about you or me
Guys like Wally they hold the key
To the Bush League dynasty

Black Box Voting
Democracy has long gone stale
Black Box Voting
Ugly underneath the veil
Black Box Voting
Never leave a paper trail

I went to vote tonight
I chose left but they gave me right
Touch screens are touch and go
Too bad it's all for show

Diebold likes Dubya best
Joe Stalin would be impressed
The voters might participate
But the vote counters control our fate

Black Box Voting
Hammering the final nail
Black Box Voting
The fascists found their Holy Grail
Black Box Voting
Never leave a paper trail...
