Diebold, Diebold (A Bicycle Built for Two)

A frustrated voter bares his soul to an electronic voting machine

Diebold, Diebold, give me your answer do.

How come you know though it’s just ten to two?

They say that you know the winner four hours before dinner.

I did not know a computer pro can now program clairvoyance too.

 

Touch screen, touch screen, you leave no paper trail.

It’s a good thing that you can never fail.

You gave Bush four thousand seven in a town of just eleven.

But you can’t speak, so there’s less to leak,

And we can’t find who programmed you.

 

Diebold, Diebold, you confirm all my fears.

How could people all vote like Britney Spears?

I’d love to see our great nation demand investigation.

But no one checks so your execs can

Breathe easy for four more years.

 

Diebold, Diebold, you won’t do as I bid.

I chose Kerry. Why don’t you say I did?

I came to vote. That’s my duty.

Your screen said, "Kiss my bootie!"

This is unkind, d’ya think they’ll mind

The debris that I’ve left of you?
