Lyrics

They Lost My Vote
Ac 2006 written by Ellen Bukstel
& Nancy Wuerzburger
Tuesday in November I took that stroll
To cast my ballot at the local poll
The lines were long but I didn't care
I had water, a hat and my folding chair
Walked up to the booth, didn't say a word
Was sure that my voice would be heard
I hit that button my vote was sent
But now nobody knows exactly where it went
They lost my vote it isn't fair
I took a stand, doesn't anybody care
They lost my vote, now do you know
Where did my ballot go
After the election I was filled with pride
Waitin for my vote to be verified
Lookin for the news of my country's fate
The election was over now
There's no more debate
I surfed the TV all night long
Wanted to know what was going on
To get me some honest information
I watched John Stuart on the comedy station
They lost my vote it isn't fair
I took a stand, doesn't anybody care
They lost my vote, now do you know
Where did my ballot go
Wanted to make sure that democracy
Was working the way that it was supposed to be
I just want someone to listen to me
The way the Constitution promised me
If we can land a rocket ship on the moon
Or make a cell phone ring in our favorite tune
If we can send sound waves through the air
Then votin' machines should be countin' fair
Anyone can hack the files and push delete
There'd be no proof and I got no receipt
So let's get the system under control
And the final results will match the exit poll
They lost my vote it isn't fair
I took a stand, doesn't anybody care
They lost my vote, now do you know
Where did my ballot go
I lost my faith in the government
When they changed the rules
Without my consent
Don't wanna be nobody's experiment
I just want to know where my ballot went
They lost my vote I made my choice
Does anybody care to hear my voice
They lost my vote was that the plan
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody knows
That I took a stand
