This page is for my February is Album Writing Month efforts for 2010. The aim is to write 14 songs during the 28 days of February. My songs will mostly be elect
is an annual songwriting challenge that dares us to write 14 songs during the shortest month of the year. This is my first year attempting this challenge. I'm posting my output for this month here for posterity's sake. After the challenge is over, I hope to return to these songs and polish them up for later release, but it's possible someone might like to see them in their original form. As such, they are all a bit rougher than I usually leave a song before releasing it, though some are in nearly-ready-to-go form.

Story behind the song
The 12th song in my FAWM 2010 adventure. Started as a love song, then I decided I really didn't want to write a love song.
Lyrics
I went out to vote just the other day Made sure I'd listened to what all of the candidates say I voted for the one who talked about the value of literacy Six months later he was slashing the budget of my library A-B-C, vote for me, isn't it strange Shuffle them around, politician exchange I'm sorry, but I just don't see the change The ruling party had promised us an age of transparency But closed door meetings have definitely risen in frequency Conflict of interest doesn't seem to be such a big worry any more What with politician's business buddies walking in right through the back door A-B-C, vote for me, isn't it strange Shuffle them around, politician exchange I'm sorry, but I just don't see the change I want to close my eyes I'm so tired of lies I'm kinda worried that I might end up completely apathetic Just give in and lay my political thoughts under anesthetic But I refuse to give in to those that would want to minimize my choice It may not be much but I still want to make them listen to my voice A-B-C, vote for me, isn't it strange Shuffle them around, politician exchange I'm sorry, but I just don't see the change A-B-C, vote for me, isn't it strange Shuffle them around, politician exchange I'm sorry, but I just don't see the change I'd like to see some change But we don't change We don't change
