I got up early today and actually finished my first song -- this one was inspired from all the election crap going on now, what with Super Tuesday almost here.  Again, I don't know how you New Hampshire folks handle this stuff, here in Georgia its too much for me. 

I am underwhelmed by all candidates, but feel not participating isn't an answer.  I think my end result is pretty good, considering not a lot of time went into the recording and mixing -- usually, I'd futz with it for-damn-near-ever, making minute changes.  But this came together quickly.  You can check it out here:  http://www.brokenpromisekeeper.com/index.html

No Choice:
It's decision time, don't like what I hear
You talk about change while you're spreading fear
It's a party no one wants to attend
And a race that just goes on without end

So many ads and so little time
Your platform sounds like a nursury rhyme
Our founding fathers roll in their graves
As we all ignore the mess we've made

Chorus:  You lean to the left, you lean to the right
Juggling all those bets you've hedged
Just take a chance and just take a stance
And stop dancing round on the razor's edge

The same holds true for the red or the blue
A whole lotta talk and nothing new
I wonder how long this can go on
'Cause left or right it all sounds wrong

Chorus

Break:  I don't know what you say you stand for
If we could read, I'm sure we'd know more
The TV says you're good and he's bad
The whole damn thing just makes me sad

Chorus

I vote for me is a vote for change
Or so she said and he said the same
So what am I supposed to believe
If I didn't live here I think I'd leave

Chorus

I pulled in my youngest to add the ending comment. Was that inspired or cheesy? Works for my goal of getting more folks involved in this year's Challenge. I like the production, it's slightly rough and live sounding. I am sure the final version will be a little different than this but I am proud enough of where it is now to post it up for comments. What say you?
