Tell us why or why not you plan to vote!
Why vote?
When there’s no one worth voting for
Why vote?
Every politician is a whore
Why vote?
The problems never go away
Why vote?
You don’t pat attention anyway
Why vote?
‘Cause some rock star said its cool
Why vote?
He just laughs, you play the fool
Why vote?
For another corporate shill
Why vote?
When its you that pays the bill
Why should you vote, they’re gonna rig it anyway
The fix is in, come election day
Why vote?
For the lesser evil of the two
Why vote?
Every one of them is screwing you
Why vote?
For a suit with some power hair
Why vote?
He gets paid to pretend he cares
Why vote?
You can’t believe the media
Why vote?
Or the people that you elect
Why vote?
When supporting the status qo
Why vote?
Is a national train wreck
Why vote?
For another Democrat
Why vote?
For some Wall Street fat cat
Why vote?
For another Republican
Why vote?
For another Company Man
Why vote?
There’s no transparency
Why vote?
There’s no legitimacy
Why vote?
Its all a joke, ya see
So why vote?
The Gitmos: Why Vote?

http://www.thejuicemedia.com Juice Rap News – Episode 16: Electile Dysfunction. It’s nearing the end of 2012, and bastion of world democracy (The United States of America) is displaying its free and open process of elections for the world to observe. As is customary every four years, the rigorous selection process has served up a number of philosopher kings and queens from which to choose. But why have so many choices when with a bit of effort you can whittle it down to two candidates and let the people pick from those? Especially when it makes for such scintillating debates. Join Juice Rap News stalwart host Robert Foster as he shares his dreams for the Presidential Debates… and then receives something of a rude awakening.
– Written & created by Giordano Nanni & Hugo Farrant in a suburban backyard home-studio in Melbourne, Australia – on Wurundjeri Land.
