I’m personally going to add “Hot Gates” by Mumford & Sons to remind myself that no matter what happens today, “there is no way out of your only life” and it is noble to run on, run on...and “Only Love” because only love will win in the end.

13. Alice Cooper - Elected

I'm your top prime cut of meat, I'm your choice
I wanna be elected
I'm your yankee doodle dandy in a gold Rolls Royce
I wanna be elected
Kids want a savior, don't need a fake
I wanna be elected
We're all gonna rock to the rules that I make
I wanna be elected, elected, elected.
Good evening Mr & Mrs America and all ships at sea
The candidate is taking the country by storm.
I never lied to you, I've always been cool
I wanna be elected
I gotta get the vote, and I told you 'bout school
I wanna be elected, elected, elected
Hallelujah, I wanna be selected
Everyone in the United States of America.
We're gonna win this one, take the country by storm
We're gonna be elected
You and me together, young and strong
We're gonna be elected, elected, elected
Respected, selected, call collected
I wanna be elected, elected.
"And if I am elected
I promise the formation of a new party
A third party, the Wild Party!
I know we have problems
We got problems right here in Central City
We have problems on the North, South, East and West
New York City, Saint Louis, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago
Everybody has problems
And personally, I don't care."

Songwriters: A. Cooper, Smith, M. Bruce, G. Buxton D. Dunaway

16. marching on versailles

gonna post this one again as it is my brain's theme song for this election. Its blasting on loop in my head at 150 million decibels

This was your final chance
A chance you didn’t take
Like the lightning we will fall on your golden world
This was your final dance
Your final reverence
Now on the horizon you can see our torches burning
No turning back, our army will attack
Your dynasty ends tonight
We are the army of silent cries
Marching on your denial
We are the justice for those who died
For the glory of Versailles

[UTUSN]
