Presidential campaign insta-filk

On the way home from registering at Dragon*Con, I caught the last half of You-Know-Who's acceptance speech on radio. Then this one wrote itself on me after a song I've been liking on my iTunes:

ELECTION SNOOZE
Music: "Wake Me Up When September Ends" by Billie Joe Armstrong, Michael Pritchard and Frank E. Wright III
     ©2005 by Green Daze Music (ASCAP)
Parody Lyrics: Matt G. Leger

Primaries have come and passed Four years go by much too fast Wake me up when November ends Choices don't stir my heart A rookie and a crabbed old fart Wake me up when November ends Here they campaign again; Obama makes me yawn. Here comes McCain again To shout, "Get off my lawn!" Both parties bought and sold; Will there be more before I'm old? Wake me up when November ends

Hillary is gone, it's true Not even Bill could push her through Wake me up when November ends Barack's the people's man Except when telcos need a hand Wake me up when November ends Junior is out the door With all his damage done; Our troops will be at war 'Til 2021! Real progress has no chance; Is it too late to move to France? Wake me up when November / the campaign / the madness ends.

the serious side of me thinks, if only it were that easy.

Still, good one.
