Don't Rock the Vote

About the worst thing we can have happen is to have everybody vote just because it's their "right". It's your right, alright, but it comes with a duty to know what the heck you're talking about.

That's why I always hated the whole "Rock The Vote" campaign.

So I just, ahem, wrote this song:

Don't Rock the Vote

Said I'd like to know where, you got the notion
To rock the vote, don't vote the vote baby
Rock the vote, don't put The Dolt over
Rock the vote, don't rock the vote baby
Rock the vote

Ever since our free nation began
Knowledge on the issues has been our guiding hand
So far wisdom has kept us socialism-free
There's always been a place in our hearts for Liberty

Freedom is floating like a ship on the ocean
Make sure we steer it on truth and not emotion

So I'd like to know where, you got the notion
Said I'd like to know where, you got the notion
To rock the vote, don't rock the vote baby
Rock the vote, don't put The Dolt over
Rock the vote, don't rock the vote baby
Rock the vote

We've sailed through every storm we've been through from the start
But MTV's convinced you you're so very smart
Before you go out and pull that lever for The One
Give me one solid reason he's the one you want

Freedom is floating like a ship on the ocean
Make sure you're steering it on truth, not emotion

So I'd like to know where, you got the notion
Said I'd like to know where, you got the notion
To rock the vote, don't rock the vote baby
Rock the vote, don't put The Dolt over
Rock the vote

Before you punch that chad and stick it to The Man
Stop and think who creates the jobs across this land
They don't get made by raising tax a few more cents
'Cause it's The Man who makes them, it's not the government

Freedom is floating like a ship on the ocean
Make sure you're steering it on truth, not emotion

So I'd like to know where, you got the notion
Said I'd like to know where, you got the notion
To rock the Vote
Rock the vote
Rock the vote
Rock the vote
Rock the vote
Rock the vote
Rock the vote
Don't Rock the vote!
