Updates come in a stream
The all-news channel wakes me from a dream
Faces leer on the screen
Opinions plentiful; what do they mean?...

Today in Tallahassee, lawsuits were filed
300's the margin; the canvassers are riled
Opposing factions argue their cause
Both of them claiming to follow state laws...

Here we go once again
The never-ending Bush-Gore election
High expectations; resolution delay
2004 projections leaked today

On the air, we're live again
I sit and watch the news 'til 3 a.m.
They called the race, then they put it on hold
The voices rise until the truth is lost in the spin

Democrats, bureauc-rats in my living room
I drink my coffee; contemplate my doom
Turn it down, switch to E.I.B.
Lawyers decide the president-to-be

The debate goes on with a partisan strain
One side's loss is the other's gain
Network correspondents are live on the scene
Stand by for word from the court of Larry King

On the air, we're live again
I sit and watch the news 'til 3 a.m.
They called the race, then they put it on hold
The voices rise until the truth is lost in the spin

Ay-ay, what can you do?
Just hold my nose and wade through deep do-do
Sometimes it boggles my brain:
When will we see the end of this campaign?
