Who Did You Vote For?

Mid tempo, bluesy pop, very hooky, very commercial, female voice

V5.5

The cattle are hungry,
The fields are dry,
The bank wants money,
And the bills climb high.
The ranch is slipping,
The farm won't stay,
And now you're crying
About the price you pay.

You say, "Somebody help us,
We're losing everything."
You want the country listening,
You want somebody to care.

Who did you vote for?
Who did you vote for?
When you put that man in power,
What did you think he'd do?
Now you're standing at the door,
Asking us to feel your pain.
But before we shed a tear,
There's one question once again.
Who did you vote for?
Who did you vote for?

You didn't cry for the workers
When they lost their jobs.
You called it cutting waste,
You said, "That's how government works."

You didn't speak for millions
When the aid was swept away.
You didn't ask who'd suffer,
You just looked the other way.

You didn't raise your voice
When innocent people died.
You didn't speak for children
Locked up and pushed aside.

You said, "Not my problem,
It ain't happening to me."
Now the fire's at your doorstep
And suddenly you need sympathy.

"Well, I never voted for this."
That's what you say today.
But the vote you cast
Helped put him in that place.

You didn't see the warning
When it happened to somebody else.
You didn't care about the damage
Till it landed on your shelf.

Now the cattle are sold,
Now the land's on the line.
Now you're asking everybody
To stand with you this time.

But where were you before?
Where was your voice back then?
You can't discover empathy
When the pain comes home again.

Who did you vote for?
Who did you vote for?
You don't get to dodge the question
Just because the bill came due.
You helped open up the door,
You helped put him in the room.
Now you're asking us for mercy
While you're standing in the ruins.
Who did you vote for?
Who did you vote for?

You wanted cheaper government,
You wanted someone tough.
You wanted all the promises.
You said it was enough.

Now the promises are broken,
Now the consequences came.
And you're looking for somebody
Else to take the blame.

I'm sorry for the farmer.
I'm sorry for the land.
I'm sorry for the families
Trying hard to make a stand.

But sympathy ain't selective.
And justice isn't new.
If you wanted us beside you,
You should've stood beside us too.

Who did you vote for?
Who did you vote for?
When the warning lights were flashing,
You still walked through that door.
Now you're begging us for answers,
Now you're begging us for more.
But we're asking just one question,
The question you can't ignore.

Who did you vote for?
Who did you vote for?
Who did you vote for?
Who did you vote for?
