Who thought democracy would take such a fall?

In Selection 2000, we were had
By a punch card paper chad
And that crooked Duval bunch
Made sure to double-punch

That bitch Harris and Bush set the scene
And that's why the Chimp was so serene
Predicting he would win the state
Cause Repuke votes come in late

Gore lost 16,022 votes in Volusia,
Said Dan Rather: It was a "computer glich",
Now we know what really happened
Votes were hacked; ain't that a bitch?

That Palm Beach mole LePore
Also stole the votes from Gore
She designed the Butterfly
Why? To fool old Jews; that's why

Al's votes were tossed,
We were all double-crossed
Jim Baker came to destroy us
Called to Tony the fixer at SCOTUS

And with the Scalia Five,
So did Fascism soon arrive
A judicial coup d'etat,
and America just stood pat

And Diebold's voting screen,
It's enough to make you scream
Proprietary to that Repuke bunch,
Dem votes just won't crunch

The 2002 Rob-Georgia hack
was another scheme from the pack
Zogby was astounded by the score,
never was so wrong like this before

Now we know, the polls were right,
but damn Diebold stole in plain sight
When the CEO said he'll deliver
Ohio for Bush, it made us shiver

They're moving as fast as they can
installing touch-screens all over the land
Certification is just a joke,
Election officials will never go broke

They won't let a demonstration
show the potential for manipulation
Without a voter-verified paper trail
We're better off to vote by mail

Election officials are so corrupt,
Our electoral process they would disrupt
They're just traitors on the take,
while democracy is itself at stake

Now I ask, who do you believe,
Computer scientists or these thieves?
They'll spend $5,000 for the machine,
while only $15 for paper would keep it clean

It's very basic and must be told
That our freedom has been sold
Without fair voting, we've lost it all
Who thought democracy would take such a fall?
