Twas Halloween and the ghosts were out
And everywhere theyd go, theyd shout
And though I covered my eyes, I knew
Theyd go away
But fears the only thing I saw
And three days later it was clear to all
That nothing is as scary as election day
But the day after is darker
And darker and darker it goes
Who knows, maybe the plans will change
Who knows, maybe hes not deranged
The newsmen know what they know, but they
Know even less than what they say
And I dont know who I can trust
For they come what may
Cause we believed in our candidate
But even more its the one we hate
I needed someone I could shake
On election day
But the day after is darker
And deeper and deeper we go
Who knows, maybe its all a dream
Who knows if Ill wake up and scream
I love the things that youve given me
I cherish you, my dear country
But sometimes I dont understand
The way we play
I love the things that youve given me
And most of all that I am free
To have a song that I can sing
On election day
