Song Description
Bouncy, soulful, song, midway between early Beatles and 60s soul, with a touch of mid-70s Wings, especially in the poppy bass playing. Serious message is couched in light-hearted, ironic lyrics about voting for the candidate with the best policies, with sly references to distorted, sensational and exaggerated media coverage focusing on personalities instead of policies.

Lyrics
(JUST GIVE ME) SOMETHING WORTH VOTING FOR (© DC Cardwell)
I don't care if you're female or you're male
I don't care if you're dark or you're pale
I don't care if you never did inhale
I don't care what kind of clothes you wear
I don't care if you've still got your own hair
I don't care if you're hip or if you're square
Just give me something
Just give me something
Worth voting for
Worth voting for
I don't care about your trouble or your strife
I don't care about your husband or your wife
I don't care about the scandals in your life
I don't care if you are healthy or you're not
I don't care how much wealth you've really got
I don't care if your campaign cost a lot
Just give me something
Just give me something
Worth voting for
Worth voting for
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
I don't care if you've got things to confess
I don't care if you gave a good address
I don't care if you're the darling of the press
Just give me something
Just give me something
Worth voting for
Worth voting for
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
