Abolish The Electoral College
73It’s time to abolish
The electoral college
Don’t tell me that it levels the field
Don’t try to say
It keeps demagogues at bay
Cuz Trump has broken that seal
The truth you can escape
Is that the Southern states
Wanted to count their slaves
So they could get the most
Electoral votes
And continue to do it their way
And we’ll never get an amendment
Congress is too broken to do
Anything remotely approaching the right thing
We gotta try something brand new
The National
Popular Vote
Interstate Compact
Make good on
One person one vote
How bout that
A bunch of states have already said yes
Let’s all fight now for the rest
The National
Popular Vote
Interstate Compact
Nobody campaigns in Wyoming anyway
It always comes down to just a few states
If the popular vote counted
Every state would have a circle around it
And candidates would have to work for it
And your vote would finally
Cuz you’ll fail to mention
That wasn’t it’s intention
They just wanted to count slaves for real
National popular vote interstate compact
Hi there! If you're new around these parts, welcome. I'm Jonathan Mann. I write a song every single day, and I've been doing that for the last 7+ years.
Through sick days, tired days, days with no inspiration, the death of my grandma, the breakup of a 5 year long relationship, the marriage to my wife and the birth of our son - I've never missed a day. This is my life's work.
