Don’t blame me, I voted for chaos. Don’t blame me, I voted for love.
Don’t blame me, I voted for night-time.
Don’t blame me, I voted for dope.
Don’t blame me, I voted for Jesus.
Don’t blame me, I voted for Wham!
Don’t blame me, I voted for the metric system
and the Metro
and Mr. Mister.
Don’t blame me, I voted for Mayor Doom.
Don’t blame me, I voted my conscience.
I voted consciously.
I voted conscientiously.
I voted contentiously.
I voted my cantankerous best.
And my candidate didn’t win
and my candidate didn’t place
and my candidate didn’t even show up
but i voted dammit.
I voted for you
and if the officials ask
why I had your ballot
and your identity
and your socks
just understand,
I voted
– so don’t blame me.
