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

I'm just damned.

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

I'm just damned.

Tell me something I don't know

Very good Daryl very good all round.
 

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
 

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

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

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

Cool song... I read the lyrics first... nice work and spot on.
