Tuesday in November I took that stroll
To cast my ballot at the local poll
The lines were long but I didn’t care
Had water, a hat and my folding chair

Walked up to the booth, didn’t say a word
Was sure that my voice would be heard
I hit that button my vote was sent
But now no body knows exactly where it went

They lost my vote— it isn’t fair
I took a stand, doesn’t anybody care
They lost my vote— do you know
Where......................did my ballot go?

After the election I was filled with pride
Waitin for my vote to be varified
Lookin for the news of my country’s fate
The election was over ..now there’s no more debate

I surfed the TV all night long
Wanted to know what was going on
To get me some honest information
I watched Jon Stewart on the comedy station

They lost my vote— it isn’t fair
I took a stand, doesn’t anybody care
They lost my vote— do you know
Where......................did my ballot go?
    
I wanted to make sure that democracy
Was working the way that it’s supposed to be
I just want someone to listen to me
The way / the constitution promised me

If we can land a rocket on the moon
Or make a cell phone ring in our favorite tune
If we can send sound waves through the air    
Then votin’ machines should be countin’ fair             

Someone can hack the files and push delete
There be no proof and I got no receipt
Let’s get system under control
Election results will match the exit poll

They lost my vote— it isn’t fair
I took a stand, doesn’t anybody care
They lost my vote— do you know
Where......................did my ballot go?

I lost my faith in the government
When they changed the rules without my consent
Don’t wanna be nobody’s experiment
I just want to know where my ballot went

They lost my vote I made my choice
Does anybody care to hear my voice
They lost my vote was that the plan
Nobody, nobody nobody nobody knows that I took a stand
