Damned if I do
Written and performed by Staypress
News flash courtesy alc31180 of freesound.org
V1
I'm stuck with a decision - exactly where to put my X
I've been sold with great precision and I know just what's coming next
Chorus
I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
But I can't help but feel that I'm wasting my vote
I'm caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
I know because I saw it on the BBC
V2
It's not a democratic vision to choose between fire and ice
I'm sick of politicians who promise me paradise
Chorus
Middle bit
...and the lesser of 2 evils is still evil
One is insane, the other not quite legal
One is fixated on building a wall
The other is determined to screw us all
V3
You can't trust your television - the news is what they want you to hear
So you have a brave decision to use your own mind my dear
Chorus

Nice tune mate.
 
I'm not politically inclined so the lyric did not resonate all that well with me. 
 

Very good Daryl very good all round.
 

I wasn't going to post this here (forum rules, and all), but it sure is a good adjunct to this song!
 

clear mix, bouncy yet depressing. A little Yaz-like which is always fun. I appreciated your background harmonies - barely perceptible but they do add a lot to the chorus.
 
thanks, fear not, it's still cool to vote, it will all be ok. Except for the zombies

Very nice, quirky-sounding song Daryl! This sounds so English, you must be...lol.
 
Excellent mix, as per usual. Love the lyrics on this one, everything flows really well.
 
Regards,
Dan
 

Thanks Dan. I maybe a little bit English...:)

Liking the vibe a lot! Nice post new-wave feel and super clear production! Nice job.

This song & message is very good Daryl  it's times like these I wish I sang and wrote lyrics …
Very inventive , super easy to listen too . Your tune also has a nice toe tapper vibe …
On a side note , while my toes were a tapping , I noticed that my middle finger got into the act and decided to pay homage to the main characters you had written the song about 
 
all the best,

I haven't listened to this yet, but I love the lyrics and how accurately portrayed!!  (I have some listening to do now....)

I'm glad you liked the lyrics mate - did you get to listen to it?

hehe, cool tune, quite infectious....
i like the vocal mix so dry and effected for the clarity...
 
dig the zombie approach...
it hasn't been played out yet,
and so apropo
 
of course, i'd love to hear some edgy guitar,
ala NIN, which would separate this from what people hear as '80's dance/pop....
it's just a step to the left....

Thanks Tom - I appreciate it.
 
Bouncy yet depressing - there's a phrase you don't hear very often 

Great work, Daryl! You have really got all sounds to blend together perfectly. Sounds fantastic in my speakers. And these lyrics engage even us living outside of US.

Hi. Easy to listen to, and catchy song. Liked the lyrics. Sounds very good.
All the best.
