None Like Joshua
I Will Never Vote
[Intro]
Shout outs to Boyinaband
Trying to change the world one rap at a time
Thomas Prime on the beat
Before you judge, stick around to the end of the song
Might change your mind
I don't know everything
But I'll tell you what I think
[Verse 1]
If you have to choose the lesser of two evil men
It’s never gonna be a true expression of your freedom, then
That’s one degree separated from dictatorship
Whoever leads in highest paid gets away with it
The electoral college is a sham
Al Gore got the vote, but they wished for Bush instead
They can even vote against what the citizen had said
Some are nameless? Man, that’s sketchier than keds
Politicians promising, pander on the campaign
Got up in the office, said it has to stay the same
Blockin' by the Congress, lyin' to our damn face
Trying to divide us, they declare it can’t change
[Pre-Hook 1]
Show me who doesn’t want the money or the power (for the people)
Show me who’s gonna give the country what is ours (our freedom)
Someone who doesn’t want a fight we can’t handle
I’ll vote if it’s decentralize and dismantle
[Hook]
If I was the head of state, I’d be a dictator
Like I’m set in a game, strategy or simulator (why?)
Nothing in the country would get done if I wasn’t
Cuttin' out the middle, give the people what they wanted (what?)
Equal opportunity, corrupt held accountable
Bustin' up monopolies, freedom from the powerful
No income tax, make it fair for the code
All of this is why you will never see me vote
[Verse 2]
(You would be a dictator?)
Yeah, against the government
Use the NSA to spy on senators corrupting it
If they try wastin' tax money, make 'em fuckin' quit
Put 'em in jail, like they do to us, 'cause we’re shit to them
(What about the cops?)
Privatize 'em all
Not a union to protect 'em if they shoot us at their fault
(Gun control?)
Honestly, I don’t really know
Every population’s different, let 'em want it on their own
(No income tax?)
I ain’t payin' for a war that I never voted for or my privacy ignored
(Gay marriage and abortion?)
Yeah, I’m all for it
Sorry if you’re not, but it won’t affect your fortune
[Pre-Hook 2]
Show me who’s gonna fund research and development (go to space)
Show me who’s gonna let the people start directing this (direct vote)
Someone with politics, but science as the answer
I’ll vote if it’s decentralize and dismantle
[Hook]
If I was the head of state, I’d be a dictator
Like I’m set in a game, strategy or simulator (why?)
Nothing in the country would get done if I wasn’t
Cuttin' out the middle, give the people what they wanted (what?)
Equal opportunity, corrupt held accountable
Bustin' up monopolies, freedom from the powerful
No income tax, make it fair for the code
All of this is why you will never see me vote
[Verse 3]
(What about the poor?)
More guaranteed income
Not pay in food stamps, let 'em save up for what they want
(And drugs?)
Decriminalize and pardon everyone
Fund the rehab, educate on what the drug does
(Minimum wage?)
Not every business is the same
Different needs, different pay
Some are willing to work as slaves just to eat and sustain
Less tax is more to give away as an aid
A regressive fair tax to replace
(Healthcare?)
Competition means a lower price
Insurance over state lines, more clinics, less wait time
(Environment?)
Tort reform, sue the polluters of the ocean floor
And make 'em clean it, the greenest rewarded
[Pre-Hook 3]
Show me who’s gonna bring the jobs through incentive (no tax)
Show me who’s gonna make schooling less expensive (more schools)
Someone whose economic plan is substantial
I’ll vote if it’s decentralize and dismantle
[Hook]
If I was the head of state, I’d be a dictator
Like I’m set in a game, strategy or simulator (why?)
Nothing in the country would get done if I wasn’t
Cuttin' out the middle, give the people what they wanted (what?)
Equal opportunity, corrupt held accountable
Bustin' up monopolies, freedom from the powerful
No income tax, make it fair for the code
All of this is why you will never see me vote
[Outro]
Democrat or Republican
At least maybe a third party
