Election Day
Moderately Mediocre Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sing our fair anthem when you speak our country‘s name.
Two can play and four can run but one will win the game.
Under our new management we take our walk of shame.
Someone joins and someone lies but no one stays the same.

So is that it?
Did we lose?
Just because we played by the rules?
Is that it?
Are we done?
Y’know you’re a fool if you think you’ve won.

We all know that tyranny goes by a single name.
We all know that we alone can never break our chains.
We both know there’s people who will help us on our way.
We will take the final stand,
It might not be today.
We will take the final stand,
It might not be today.
We will make the final move,
And win this game we play.

Tear down the walls!
You know we will take no more L’s.
Pour the tea and lemonade and drown all of the wishing wells.
Climbed up slow and even though
You didn’t see me rise,
That’s the price you pay
When you ignore before your very eyes.

Keep our faith in one another.
Borders keep apart the brothers.
Keep on running to the other,
Don’t let them know.
We can find our way to take down,
Coalitions we can break down.
Burn the flag but you can never
Burn our spirits to the ground.

We all know that tyranny goes by a single name.
We all know that we alone can never break our chains.
We both know there’s people who will help us on our way.
We will take the final stand,
It might not be today.
We will take the final stand,
It might not be today.
We will make the final move,
And win this game we play.

We will make the final move,
And they have hell to pay.





They might steal our motherland,
But we will save the day.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Election Day" by Moderately Mediocre touch upon themes of political corruption, resilience, and the power of unity. In the first paragraph, they emphasize the importance of national pride and the consequences of dishonesty within the political game. They suggest that while multiple candidates may be running, only one will emerge victorious, often at the expense of others. This creates a sense of shame and disillusionment, questioning the fairness of the rules.


The second paragraph questions whether the singer's side has lost the election due to playing by the rules. It challenges the idea that following the established norms guarantees success. They mockingly call someone foolish if they believe victory is assured without considering the broader implications and consequences of their actions.


The third paragraph encourages resistance against tyranny and the breaking of metaphorical chains that can bind society. It acknowledges the existence of allies who will aid in the struggle for freedom. While it acknowledges that the final victory may not be immediate, it expresses determination and unity to eventually prevail against oppressive forces. The use of repetition emphasizes the resolve to take a stand and win the ongoing political game.


In the final paragraph, the lyrics advocate for tearing down metaphorical walls that hinder progress and unity. The focus shifts to the importance of solidarity and maintaining faith in one another. The mention of borders separating brothers implies the division caused by external factors. The lyrics encourage constant movement and seeking connections with those who share similar goals, rejecting the idea of being controlled by political coalitions. They emphasize the resilience of the human spirit, stating that while symbols may be burned, true determination cannot be extinguished.


Overall, "Election Day" portrays a sense of disillusionment and frustration with political systems marred by corruption. It urges individuals to remain resilient, united, and fight against oppressive forces, even if victory is not immediate. It promotes the belief that through perseverance and collective action, they can save their country and overcome the challenges they face.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Sing our fair anthem
When you speak our country's name
Two can play and four can run
But one will win the game
Under our new management
We take our walk of shame
Someone joins and someone lies
But no one stays the same

[Pre-Chorus]
So is that it? Did we lose?
Just because we played by the rules?
Is that it? Are we done?
Y'know, you're a fool if you think you've won

[Chorus]
We all know that tyranny goes by a single name
We all know that we alone can nеver break our chains
We both know thеre's people who will help us on our way
We will take the final stand, it might not be today
We will take the final stand, it might not be today
We will make the final move, and win this game we play

[Verse 2]
Tear down the walls
You know we will take no more L's
Pour the tea and lemonade
And drown all of the wishing wells
Climbed up slow and even though
You didn't see me rise
That's the price you pay when you
Ignore before your very eyes
[Bridge]
Keep our faith in one another
Borders keep apart the brothers
Keep on running to the other
Don't let them know
We can find our way to take down
Coalitions we can break down
Burn the flag but you can never
Burn our spirits to the ground

[Chorus]
We all know that tyranny goes by a single name
We all know that we alone can never break our chains
We both know there's people who will help us on our way
We will take the final stand, it might not be today
We will take the final stand, it might not be today
We will make the final move, and win this game we play

[Outro]
We will make the final move
And they'll have hell to pay
They might steal our motherland
But we will save the day
Yes I know u can read the screen
