My Dear Country

'Twas Halloween and the ghosts were outAnd everywhere they'd go, they shoutAnd though I covered my eyes I knewThey'd go awayBut fear's the only thing I sawAnd three days later 'twas clear to allThat nothing is as scary as election dayBut the day after is darkerAnd darker and darker it goesWho knows, maybe the plans will changeWho knows, maybe he's not derangedThe news men know what they know, but theyKnow even less than what they sayAnd I don't know who I can trustFor they come what may'cause we believed in our candidateBut even more it's the one we hateI needed someone I could shakeOn election dayBut the day after is darkerAnd deeper and deeper we goWho knows, maybe it's all a dreamWho knows if I'll wake up and screamI love the things that you've given meI cherish you my dear countryBut sometimes I don't understandThe way we playI love the things that you've given meAnd most of all that I am freeTo have a song that I can singOn election day
