Election!

Inspired by Jimmy Fallon's "2020: The Musical," here is a full version of "Election!" to the tune of "Tradition!". Yes, I know this isn't 100% accurate and that I skipped some dialogue, but it's fun.


(Narrator)

"Government in three parts. Sounds crazy, no? But in our super power of America,

you might say every one of us is a government in three parts,

trying to create a pleasant, simple land without breaking our neck. It isn't easy.

You may ask, why do we stay in here if it's so dangerous?

We stay because America is our home... And how do we keep our balance?

That I can tell you in one word...election."


(Chorus)

Election, election... election


(Narrator)

"Because of our elections, we've kept our balance for many, many years.

Here in America we have elections for everything...

how to drink, how to smoke, even, how to give birth.

For instance, we always use an electoral college and always vote during our work days...

This shows our constant devotion to the past. You may ask, how did this election started?

I'll tell you - compromise. But it's an election...

Because of our elections, everyone knows who they are and what we expect them to do."


(Narrator and SCOTUS)

Who day and night

Makes judgments for a living

Protect constitution

Serve their complete life

And who has the right

As master of the courts

To have the final word on law?


(All)

Our SCOTUS, our SCOTUS... election


(Congress)

Who must know the way to make a proper law?

A beloved law, a needed law

Who must confirm a nominee and declare war

And also do some investigations?


(All)

Our Congress, our Congress... election 


(Prez)

In Jan. I was sworn to uphold

And then I enforced laws

I'm the head of military 

I hope... it's mighty


(All)

The prez, the prez... election


(Voters)

And who does local votes

To mend and tend and fix

Preparing us to vote in

Whoever parties pick?


(All)

The voters, the voters... election


*all parts repeated simultaneously as round*


(SCOTUS)

Our SCOTUS


(Congress)

Our Congress


(Prez)

The prez


(Voters)

The Voters


(ALL)

Election 


(SCOTUS)

Our SCOTUS


(Congress)

Our Congress


(Prez)

The prez


(Voters)

The Voters


(ALL)

Election 


(All)

Election, election... election

Election, election... election


(Tevye)

"Election. Without our elections, our lives would be as fractured as... as government in three parts!"

I'm angry

I'm angry. And I don't (at the moment) want to be talked out of it. I struggle, often, with expressing or even just sitting with my emotions. I feel like even the photo I chose for this post was more reserved or toned down than how I feel.  But, this is my trying. I'm not going to time this post, just going to write until I feel done, whenever that may be. In this post, I'm going to focus on the anger I feel around my dad and my dad's death. Though, don't get me wrong, I'm also angry about a lot of things going on in my city, in my country, and in the world. My dad chose alcohol over me and my brother. There is no way around this fact. Yes, when I am less angry, I can be more reasonabl and recognize that addiction is a disesase and he didn't have control over it. But, right now, I want to be angry. I want to get to be angry. I want to get to feel my feelings. I don't want to rationalize, I don't want to be reasonable, I don't want to be fair....
