'Twas Halloween
And the ghosts were out
And everywhere
They'd go they shout
And though I covered
My eyes I knew
They'd go away
But fear's the only
Thing I saw
And three days later
Was clear to all
That nothing is as scary
As election day
But the day after is darker
And darker and darker
It goes
Who knows maybe
The plans will change
Who knows maybe
He's not deranged
The news men know
What they know but they
Know even less
Than what they say
And I don't know who
I can trust
For they come what may
'Cause we believed
In our candidate
But even more
It's the one we hate
I needed someone
I could shake
On election day
But the day after
Is darker
And deeper and deeper
We go
Who knows maybe
It's all a dream
Who knows if I'll wake up
And scream
I love the things
That you've given me
I cherish you
My dear country
But sometimes
I don't understand
The way we play
I love the things
That you've given me
And most of all
That I am free
To have a song
That I can sing
On election day
