Woke up to the same different changed America I spent the night before at "Post No Bills" A local bar Watching the election results like it was a football game New casters pointing to red and blue states Making news out of the obvious Texas went red, theres a fuckin' surprise The girl on the stool next to me says if Romney wins she's moving to another country Sure you are..drunk girl at a bar.. Everyone from my building, the 286ians Were in attendance for the gala "And a round of shots for my good friends", I told Mustang Sally, our bartender I continued, "Cause if Obama wins were getting ****** up tonight and if Romney wins were ****** Boisterous laughter like osmosis Fills the room from left to right Another 286ian walks in "Heyyyyy!!!!" said everyone in the bar The election was a close one With 11 more minutes until the polls close I closed my tab Put on my borrowed scarf was out the door like Flint on opposite day Pockets were empty But no complaint I look at the bar as buying smiles As I walked home, belly warm I hear cheer Obama must have won Who wants a beer?

286, Election, 2012
Woke up to the same different changed America I spent the night before at "Post No Bills" A local bar Watching the election results like it was a football game New casters pointing to red and blue states Making news out of the obvious Texas went red, theres a fuckin' surprise The girl on the stool next to me says if Romney wins she's moving to another country Sure you are..drunk girl at a bar.. Everyone from my building, the 286ians Were in attendance for the gala "And a round of shots for my good friends", I told Mustang Sally, our bartender I continued, "Cause if Obama wins were getting ****** up tonight and if Romney wins were ****** Boisterous laughter like osmosis Fills the room from left to right Another 286ian walks in "Heyyyyy!!!!" said everyone in the bar The election was a close one With 11 more minutes until the polls close I closed my tab Put on my borrowed scarf was out the door like Flint on opposite day Pockets were empty But no complaint I look at the bar as buying smiles As I walked home, belly warm I hear cheer Obama must have won Who wants a beer?
