Gerrymander!

Every single decade
When we all are surveyed
It's time for redistricting

Party that's in power
Tries to seize the hour
There's no time for bickering

So they're drawing lines that
Look so serpentine that
Clinches their majority

If you say it's cheating
They'll just say you're bleating
You'll get no apology

Gerrymander!
They're working hard to guarantee
Gerrymander!
That they are holding all the keys
Gerrymander!
When reelection's paramount
Gerrymander!
They want some votes to never count

Gerrymander!
Because they want to hold the reins
Gerrymander!
The shape of districts are insane
Gerrymander!
So they're elected once again
Gerrymander! Gerrymander! Gerrymander!

They don't care, they don't care
They don't care if the vote's unfair

Just because they can, they
Implement a plan to
Spread out opposition votes

We all know the cost
Democracy has lost
We gotta find the antidote

Partisans are merry
Thanking Elbridge Gerry
For this devious technique

Call your politicians
Ask for explanations
All you get is doublespeak

Gerrymander!
I think it's really plain to see
Gerrymander!
They're lacking in integrity
Gerrymander!
Here in the land of the unfree
Gerrymander!
Where they can warp reality

Gerrymander!
It's politicians taking charge
Gerrymander!
It's politicians living large
Gerrymander!
While all our votes are getting carved
Gerrymander! Gerrymander! Gerrymander! Gerrymander!

They don't care, they don't care
They don't care if the vote's unfair

Why us?
They don't care, they don't care
They don't care if the vote's unfair

But, but, but
I just can't be bothered
Hey, hey look man
I'm too busy to be fightin' inequality!

They don't care
Oh my goodness
They don't care
What can I do to stop the corruption?
They don't care
They don't care about fairness

Gerrymander!
They're tossing votes under the bus
Gerrymander!
Sure tells you what they think of us
Gerrymander!
With all their modern data tools
Gerrymander!
They undermine the voting rules
Gerrymander!
It's making politicians grin
Gerrymander!
When nothing matters but a win
Gerrymander!
While voters take it on the chin
Gerrymander!
