It’s only a paper trail
But it means everything to me
And it wouldn’t be make believe
If we vote absentee.
Without some proof
Well, it’s anybody’s guess
Without some proof
We will have no redress
Of the Florida mess
It’s a Dubya and Dickie world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn’t be make believe
If we vote absentee.
