Vote!
I need somebody's
Votes, I need everybody's
Votes, you know I need to win, vote!
Getting an office, it's really kinda hard
I'm gonna need as many votes as my supporters got
So if my fans ignore all the rights they have today
I'll never win and their ideals are going out the door.
Vote for me, you can, I've read the laws
You and I both know my challenger has flaws
Vote now, you know I will help your cause
Won't you please, please vote for me?
After the Civil War, black suffrage faced delays
And independence seemed to vanish in the haze.
But with amendment XV, black men got the vote,
And now your race cannot stop you, so everyone take note.
XIX later gave women the vote
Which Anthony and Stanton did promote
Tennessee was last state to approve
Politics has improved
When I was younger, younger than the voting age,
I was drafted to Vietnam and I became enraged
I could die for my country but I had no say,
XXVIth lowered the voting age to ten plus eight.
Vote for me, you can, I've read the laws!
You and I both know my challenger has flaws
Vote now, you know I will help your cause
Won't you please, please vote for me
(Vote for me, vote for me, oooh)
