Topic: The Year Was 2012
When it comes to politics in the US I think both parties could do a great job if only one was in total power. Unfortunately that is not the case. The political system in the US seems broke to me and I have no freaking idea how to fix it, but it sure does make a good story song. Here is my prediction of what will happen this election year in a tongue-in-cheek sort of way.
The Year Was 2012 By Jeff Gilpin
May 10, 2012
Intro – D7 let it ring…
Verse 1
[G]Well the year was 2012
Di[D]sastrous pre[G]dictions
Fore[G]told the year of doom and gloom
And [D]other sad conditions
[C]Fortunate for the USA
It [G]was an election [D]year
[G]All would be set right again
Would [D]be the [C]end of [G]fear [D]
Verse 2
The [G]year started with a bang
[D]Jockeying for po[G]sitions
[G]Men of bold soul the dice did roll
They [D]all had great ambitions
But [C]one man ran the fastest
Built [G]up a lead so [D]grand
That the [G]other men they all bowed out
Then [D]said they sup[C]ported the [G]man
Chorus
With a [C]hi-de-hey we’ll win the day
Our [G]time is just at [D]hand
And we’ll [G]win the day hooray hooray
And [D]save our [C]sacred [G]land [D]
Verse 3
[G]When the dust had settled
The [D]man surveyed the [G]field
[G]Fore he had won but only one
Though [D]who he raced did yield
The [C]man had one more race to run
A [G]race all said would be [D]closer
[G]Half the people knew he would win
The [D]other [C]half said [G]no sir [D]
Verse 4
And [G]so began the final race
Two [D]runners neck and [G]neck
[G]One ran with the support of the gay
The [D]other said what the heck
For [C]I support a man and a wife
I [G]might even get a[D]nother
[G]Half the people thought this was smart
The [D]other [C]half just [G]shuttered
Chorus
With a [C]hi-de-hey we’ll win the day
Out [G]time is just at [D]hand
And we’ll [G]win the day hooray hooray
And [D]save our [C]sacred [G]land [D]
Verse 5
[G]At the end the race was tied
No [D]one could win or [G]loose
So they [G]looked upon the high court
Said [D]judges now you choose
It [C]was a split decision
Just as [G]close as a vote can [D]be
And the [G]winner got to run the land
The [D]looser was [C]you and [G]me [D]
Verse 6
So [G]which one was the winner
I [D]figured you might [G]ask
It [G]had to be one or the other
Who’d [D]in their glory bask
But [C]does it really matter
They [G]both are good and [D]bad
Sooooooo no [G]matter who we vote for
We [D]all will [C]still be [G]had [D7]
Ending Chorus 1
With a [C]toura loura loura
And [G]2012’s the [D]year
The [G]Mayan’s say it’s judgement day’s
That [D]day’ll [C]soon be [G]here [G7]
Ending Chorus 2
With a [C]yada yada yada
What[G]ever will be will [D]be
[G]Democrat or Republican
Life’s [D]just one [C]big par[G]ty
