Every Vote We Make

(with apologies to The Police)




Every breath he takes; every tweet he makes;

Every ramp he shakes; every glass he breaks.


We’ll be watching him.


Every truth he fakes; every co-ed he snakes;

Every town he quakes, every buck he rakes;


We’ll be watching him.


Oh can’t you see; this ain’t democracy.

How our poor hearts ache with every step he takes.


Every tweet he makes, every vow he flakes;

Every cough he scrapes, every daughter he dates;


We’ll be watching him.


Every breath he takes; every tweet he makes;

Every bond he breaks, every step he takes.

Every single day, every word he’ll say.


We’ll be watching him.


And when it’s over, and he’s been evicted.

Then arrested, tried and duly convicted.


We’ll be watching him.


Trying to talk during his daily perp walk

In an orange jump suit that sure looks cute.


We’ll be watching him.


But remember it’s up to us

To take action and thus:


Every vote we make, every vote we make;

Every vote we make, every vote we make,


We’ll be watching him.

  1. Really good, Mark! I'm looking forward to a future video of this version of the song being performed. :D
