Tom Mcrae - Election Day lyrics

She will be all over you Like dust, like rain Smoke and mirrors are miracles She'll steal your flame Your flame Roll the bones for the candidate What's your big idea Thought that I was running out of hate But no, not this year And how will you feel When the searchlight reveals You to be just another fake And the words that you sing Well they don't mean a thing They're just noises on your tongue Your tongue Now, every day's election day No one's on the streets We've all sung our last songs Of liberation and defeat And how will you feel When the searchlight reveals You to be just another fake And the words that you sing Well they don't mean a thing They're just noises on your tongue And all the money you make Robbing some s**ers grave It's you that you defile You defile Every generation Fails the next in line And I'm always a step ahead I'm busy failing mine And I know how it feels When the searchlight reveals You to be just another fake And the words that you sing Well they don't mean a thing They're just noises on your tongue And all the money you make Robbing some s**ers grave It's you that you defile Yeah, I know how it feels When the searchlight reveals You to be just another fake And the words that we sing Well they don't mean a thing They're just noises on our tongue Our tongue
