Took a walk into the town with the polling day looming large
Tried to gauge opinion on the streets
Sun was getting hazy and the atmosphere was growing thin
Nobody seemed worried in the least
I’m certain everything will turn out rosy
I’m certain everything will work out fine
If it turns out that my confidence was misplaced in any way
Then I’ll see you there
At the end of the line
Seven billion questions needing an answer, but there’s nothing done
We’re all too busy pushing each other around
Argument ensues about the colour of the bedroom walls
Meanwhile the house is burning down
Paper came in through my door telling me I’d everything to gain
Another paper telling me I’d all to lose
Devil and the deep blue sea staring at me from the ballot card
Oooh, whichever one will I choose?
