Election Day

from In Jest by Poison Fish

/

lyrics

Fronted by a pilot with a god-like complex
And a suicide stare
Market value's dropping and we're
Disillusioned by the brand

What did you think
What the hell were you expecting?
When I look into the mirror
All I get is my reflection

Eat like a king from an old pig tray
Revolution's coming but I think you'd know what I say
I won't die yet with a few too many years have passed
Drink like a mother fucker from an old cheap wine cask

Freedom of speech with freedom from these leeches
Freedom from the lies in which they teach us
I won't die yet but the cancer's in remission
Can we make mistakes or do we need your permission?

Fronted by a madman
Motherfucker with passion fora sin
Eat the poison apple
Or we'll never let you in

Take what you get cause there's no use fighting
Whilst bird watching I had a snake sighting
Break my curfew to feed the beast
Practice what your taught but forget what you've been preaching

Eat like a king from an old pig tray
False hopes the night before Election Day
Revolution's coming well that's what some say
The rest lie down to witness what their grand kids will pay

Celebrity heads meets charades
With games that keep us guessing
Fronted by a singer from the
Pop star section

A figure of speech
With an accurate depiction
Pinch me I'm weak
And need to bleed out my addiction

Something's got me revved up
Screaming for mercy
Media attention
Whored out tactic that keep working

I'm finding this sad
And a whole lot concerning
I lie down I'm weak
And my head is hurting

Eat like a king from an old pig tray
False hopes the night before Election Day
Revolution's coming well that's what some say
The rest lie down to witness what their grand kids will pay

I've got this feeling that'll make you want me less
I found a reason to avoid my happiness
Trust me it's later than you think
Wait a minute now let me paint it pink


I've got this feeling that'll make you want me less
I found a reason to avoid my happiness
The poison apples sweeter than you think
It's Election Day and the nation needs a drink

The left die young and the rest die old
Proving life that doesn't need a soul
Stepped on the cracks cause your mother didn't care
Laying on your back in the sun room glare

In my bed where my body lays
Dreaming of a time where my mind won't stray
In my filth where body still stays
Running up the bill on Election Day

(Conversation broken we're falling down again
Conversation's broken we'll never let you in)
