The Twins

All we know is what we're told
And that ain't always true
We think we make a difference
But I wonder if we do
Did someone mark the cards
That we were dealt election day
And make the numbers turn out
In a predetermined way

You step into the voting booth
And stare at the machine
It's easy all you've got to do is Simply touch the screen
When it says thank you for voting
Then you know you're finally done
It's all in the computer now
Go home and watch who won

Daddy's driving down the road
The twins in their car seats
Each one has got a steering wheel
They think it's kind of neat
When one turns left and one turns right they think they're driving too
The car is like the USA
The twins are me and you




I don't know what the answer is
If you do let me know
Lord they all say you're on their side I can't see how that's so

All we know is what we're told
And that ain't always true
We think we make a difference
But I wonder if we do
Does someone mark the cards
That we're all dealt election day
And make the numbers turn out
In a predetermined way

Daddy's driving down the road
The twins in their car seats
Each one has got a steering wheel
They think it's kind of neat
When one turns left and one turns right they think they're driving too
The car is this old USA
The twins are me and you
The car is like the USA
The twins are me and you

Wait a second.

At around 2.30, do you really say "Just like we heard Cheney say?"??

When did Cheney say that? haha I don't remember hearing anything about him saying that, then again, I make every effort to avoid hearing about the bugger. hehe

Thanks for sharing this!! Great stuff!

Peace,

Nate

Hey Nate, you heard right. I did hear our ex VP predict the 2004 popular vote percentage and he hit it right on the nose. I can't document that though. Maybe i just didn't try hard enough.

This is kind of a cynical song, but I guess I was feeling kind of cynical at the time. 2008, convinced me that yes, we can have a real election in the USA. May we have many more. The peaceful transfer of power is a great thing to see, and I really enjoyed this one. Gobama!

Who's really driving?

Who's really driving? Looks like the twins are after all!

Awesome! This gave me chills, it is so true, and you've captured it so well. Diebold, who makes the ATM machines that have never lost an audit train, makes the voting machines for Cheney/Rove and company, which have no audit trail built in whatsoever. You tell me who's driving. You nailed it, Will.
