Murica’s Election Tampering Iceberg

V6

This is the iceberg— corruption at the surface, Democracide below the line. [Verse 1 — Postal Drag] Mail it on time— the postmark runs late. You cast it on time— they reject it by date. “Mail it a week early,” the Postal Service says— Why should a lawful vote need seven days’ grace? Barcodes. Envelopes. Voter lists too. More little hurdles between the ballot and you. [Pre-Chorus] One more hurdle. One more delay. One more drag between a voter and their say. Make it harder— call it efficiency. That’s the dirty drag on democracy. [Chorus] Welcome aboard the ClownCar Regime, Where every safeguard gets sold as a dream. “il Douchey” leads the corruption parade— Brass-band promise, paper-shredder blade. Murica’s Election Tampering Iceberg: Corruption at the surface, Democracide below the line. Every little obstacle, every petty decree— Democracy freezes, degree by degree. [Refrain] BRING OUT THE VOTE! WE NEED A DEMOCRATIC TIDAL WAVE— Roll it coast to coast, there’s a democracy to save. Wash out the rot, wash the fetid slime— BRING THREE PEOPLE TO THE POLLS. Three people at a time. [Verse 2 — Scrape & Purge] Scrape through the rolls, run names through the files. Bad data can follow you mile after mile. Wrong flag, stale record— a lawful name can fall. CHECK YOUR NAME IS ON THE ROLL before you vote at all. Citizenship papers. Stricter ID. More paper standing between the ballot and me. [Verse 3 — Gerrymandering] Crack the city. Pack the seat. Choose your voters before they compete. Texas drew for five with a mid-cycle pen. California drew five right back again. Line by line, district by design— When politicians pick voters, democracy’s on the line. [Iceberg Descent — accelerating] Count fewer people— tilt tomorrow’s maps. Raise another hurdle. Open another gap. Cry “fraud❗️” before the count. Fight every loss you reap. Keep stirring up the water till Democracide runs deep. Cloud the truth in all that murk till it sinks beyond our reach. Dirty little drags pull democracy beneath. [Defiant Break] Thank Gawd for Marc Elias— somebody brought the fight. Democracy Docket keeps the record; Elias takes it to court. FILE IT! FIGHT IT! PUT IT ON THE RECORD! HAUL DEMOCRACY BACK ABOVE THE WATER! [Bridge — The Chill] J6 swagger, ICE by the polls, Badges flashing, cameras trained. Just beyond the polling line— What are you doing there at voting time? Who has my name? Who has my file? Who might be waiting that last half-mile? Fear does the work before anybody arrives— another boot across the throat of democratic Lives. [Action Break:] CHECK YOUR ROLL. KNOW YOUR POLL. BRING THE ID YOUR STATE REQUIRES. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. WALK INSIDE. BRING 3 PEOPLE. SIDE BY SIDE. WHAT’S YOUR JOB? BRING 3 TO THE POLLS! WHY 3? SO NOBODY WALKS ALONE! [Build] You bring 3, I’ll bring 3— That’s how a ripple becomes A SEA! Their ballot is theirs. Their choice is free. Your ethical job? GET 3 THERE SAFELY. [Final Refrain] BRING OUT THE VOTE! WE NEED A DEMOCRATIC TIDAL WAVE— Roll it coast to coast, there’s a democracy to save. Wash out the rot. Wash the fetid slime. BRING 3 PEOPLE TO THE POLLS. 3 people at a time. [Shout] THE WORLD DEPENDS ON YOU— END ‘MURICUN EMPIRE! [Outro — clipped] CHECK YOUR ROLL! KNOW YOUR POLL! BRING 3 PEOPLE! COUNT EVERY BALLOT! LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE! [Spoken — cold] Every petty decree Democracide! …degree by degree. Not for you. Not for me.
