I got arizona residency one day too late
C       F               G       G
To vote on this election day
C               F                       C       Am
And Every year before I've been too drunk to register
F                               G       C       C
Then I'd say I don't believe in it anyway
C                       F               C       C
I still shake my head at ballots cast for elephants
C                       F               G       G
And shake my head at ballots cast for donkeys
        C               F               C               Am
Because I swear to god our leaders will be death of us
        F               G               C       C
There's no ballot we can cast to set us free
C                               F               C      C
But there's no brick we can throw that will end poverty
C               F               G       G
And we can't blow up SB1 7
        C               F               C               Am
Things will never be as simple as when I was twelve years old
        F               G       C       C
Reading Karl Marx in my bedroom alone
C                       F                       C       C
Since there have been laws there have been criminals
C                               F               G       G
There have been thieves since there's been property
        C               F               C                      Am
And the day will come again when none of those things are around
F                       G               C       C
I just hope it's before people go extinct
C               F               C               C
So vote November nd if it seems right to you
C               F               G               G
Or don't vote if you think it just holds us down
        C               F               C       Am
