The Stakes (Begging My Neighbors To Vote)
There’ll be a lot of paper burning in the mayor’s office
The night before he hands over power
(If he ever make’s it there, I mean)
Corruption in a small town
Sounds kind of funny when you’re far away
But when you’re right there with it, and it stares you in the eye
What makes you think people are good?
What makes you think that people are honest?
What makes you think that people will do what they say they will?
Because, honey, it’s the lights out
It’s the lights out… but it’s alright it’s alright
I can feel your soul shining still
And, baby, I can see your soul and it’s shining still
