Left/Right by Josh Woodward
You're just another blank face in an endless crowd
And the people won't listen so you try to talk louder than them
Mindless chatter, nothing matters
When you build yourself up with the ashes of others
You ain't got much time till the planet discoveres that
You are hollow, you'll soon blow away
You're a parasite disguised as a human
And you don't even know what you're doing
And it's sad that you're weak but you're weak just the same
And you don't get it, no
You just don't get it
Do you?
Your mommy and daddy must think you're the best
But you bet your sweet ass you're not fooling the rest of us now
You're not fooling no one but your self
The line between elitist and defeatist is thin
So you sprawl yourself out on the border and grin all the same
See you later, player hater
You're a parasite disguised as a human
And you don't even know what you're doing
And it's sad that you're weak but you're weak just the same
And you don't get it, no
You just don't get it
Do you?
Your mouth is writing checks that your talent can't cash
And you've overdrawn all your accounts, and your stash
is depleted to nothing like the rest of your life
So you steal from the rest of us just to survive
You're a parasite disguised as a human
And you don't even know what you're doing
And it's sad that you're weak but you're weak just the same
And you don't get it, no
You just don't get it
And you look to the left and the right
You've got eyes and the power of sight
You can look in the mirror tonight
But you still can't see that
You're a parasite

[note: the lyrics of this song don't actually reflect my feelings about this election]
I can't tell the left from the right
I can't tell the day from the night
I can't tell the difference between tin and aluminum cans
Or Chinese and Japanese fans
Maybe I'm blinded by ignorance
Maybe I'm blind
I should have minded my Ps and Qs
But I don't mind
Being out of the duality loop
Watching other folks jump through the hoops of confusion
Believing in the illusion
That there's a choice to be made
Between the sun and the shade
As if everything is black and white
And there's a difference between left and right
I never thought that I'd feel this way, it's true
But I can't decide what the best thing to do is
Do I vote for the guy who won't win
Or the one with the lecherous grin
Or the one who thinks he's a saint not a sinner like me
If I have to make a decision
I'll choose to create more division
The way it stands now
It's like milking a goat or a cow
Like pushing or pulling a plough
Whoever's elected
Will leave us neglected
And nothing will change
Except maybe the name

Left/Right by TV's Kyle
I need to see a better day
I hope the boss says it's ok
Give me improvements that I crave
Yeaaaaaaaaah.
But bossman keeps changing the plan
for making me a better man
I don't know what I should've learned
Before another crash-and-burn
Please help me understand.
Left, right, left, right
Out of mind outta sight
Yeah!
Flip-flop, Flip-flop
Who knows which way the ball will drop.
Yeah!
I have some things I want to do
And they have nothing to do with you
I like my door. Remove your shoe.
Yeaaaaaaaah.
The rumor goes that you know best.
Bring on another pointless test.
You're pushing me in one direction
Supposedly for my protection.
I can only guess.
Left, right, left, right
Out of mind outta sight
Yeah!
Flip-flop, Flip-flop
Who knows which way the ball will drop.
I'm so annoyed I'm gonna pop.
I know that you will never stop.
Yeaaaaaaaaah.
I think that I could go real far
If you would leave things the way they are
There is a question on my mind
What have you got against my car?
Left, right, left, right
Out of mind outta sight
Yeah!
Flip-flop, Flip-flop
Who knows which way the ball will drop.
Yeah!
Left, right, left, right
Out of mind outta sight
You bark a lot and then you bite
You're blocking all my frickin' light
I had things going pretty tight
But you've only begun to fight
Throw me a bone and leave me alone
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Can't say why I sound so defensive
I don't got nothing to defend
I'll let you dance around the subject
Until there's no way to pretend
Wipe the blood from the corners of your mouth
It doesn't do you any good at all

Left/Right
He's just your sorta-kinda-husband
He's out of town for two more days
It feels like something else is hiding
Behind that awkward turn of phrase
Wipe the blood from the corners of your mouth
Your costume isn't very good at all
Left/Right
Day/Night

I up and left
It wasn't right
It's just one day
Come spend the night
You just won't quit
Without a fight
And so I left, right

Your clothes are drab, and out of style
Withered eyes followed by a crooked smile
But all your lackings, must Amp up personality
Because you've got some weird affect on me
You and your dirty apron I think are craving something else
But I think that you find it hard to put your heart up on the shelf
Sarcastic anticipation to see all the calls you didn't get on the phone
Driving down a winding road, takes about an hour to get home
Chorus [
Maybe it's you
Who should give up on me
Pack my bags
Turn around and just leave
Got my board
And thats all that I need
See my breath when I breathe
See my breath when I breathe
I'm always approaching but never know where I'm going
Weatherman tell me “Will it ever start snowing?”
A different light
A different kind
A difference that I'll never find
You always put me in a different frame of mind
Crossing a highway, not looking Left slash Right
Nothing but my way standing in my sight
I will always be deceiving
If seeing is still believing.
]
You're too much gab, shuttup for a while
Say your goodbyes while my trapped feelings compile
You just keep packing, and break this whole mentality
Hurtful words flow from irrationality
Somethings lost in translation before me you didn't even like yourself
Now you think you're so refined, like a Level 37 Elf
My self-built kit space station taking me to far away places that are unknown
Speaking in a different code
Hey look at that it finally snowed...
(Hey look at that it finally snowed, finally finally)x2
