John Wesley Harding
Election Night/You Will Be Cured
[Part I: Election Night]

[Verse 1]
Well, I met you on election night
As we cried into our beer
Nothing you could do would cheer me up
We'll break up later this year
Looks like you backed a real loser
Who thinks that life is black and white

[Chorus]
And it's raining
And it's raining
On election night

[Verse 2]
The balloons look so deflated
As they burst and float on down
It’s been three years that we've waited
For those balloons to hit the ground

[Part II: You Will Be Cured]

[Verse 1]
Sometimes it seems like no one listens
Sometimes it seems like no one cares
And if there's really someone up there
He's ignoring all your prayers
You've had more than your share
But I know that you'll endure
You will be cured
You will be cured
[Verse 2]
If the doctors finally realise
That their prescriptions have run dry
The politicians have decided
Where their special interests lie
They won't look you in the eye
When they attempt to reassure
But you will be cured
You will be cured

[Verse 3]
When your night is dark and empty
And you're mourning for the past
It's just a momentary temptation
And it was never made to last
I don't know when the votes are cast
Oh, but there's one thing that I'm sure
You will be cured
You will be cured

[Outro]
You will be cured (You will be)
You will be cured
And it's raining
And it's raining
And it's election night
It's election night
Gotta vote right on election night
You will be cured
You will be cured
Thank you.
