Same As it Ever Was

With apologies to David Byrne:

“You may find yourself wanting to vote for an educated, smart woman
You may find yourself wanting to vote for a socialist with a complete plan
You may find yourself wanting to vote for a gay man
You may find yourself wanting to vote for the environment
your child’s education
your parents’ medical needs
your soldiers overseas
your farmers
your factory workers
But no matter who you want to vote for
You’ll end up voting for some red or blue nepotist white guy.
You may ask yourself
How did I get here?
You may ask yourself
Where does that highway go?
You may ask yourself
My God what have I done?
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was.”
