Election Day
Target Acquired Lyrics

Election day
You know we're on a mission
Now's the Time
To make your own decision
Which side is free
Which side is imprisoned
Election day
Election day

Election day
You know we're on a mission
Now's the Time
To make your own decision
Which side is free
Which side is imprisoned
Election day
Election day

It's mob rules
There's no such thing as freedom
We're all fools
But together we can beat em
They sell lies
We never ask why
It's up to us to keep liberty alive
You think it matters
But the result is oppression
The vote brings out the other sides aggression
They keep us divided
And it is clear to see
That none of us are really free

Election day
You know we're on a mission
Now's the Time
To make your own decision
Which side is free
Which side is imprisoned
Election day
Election day

Election day
You know we're on a mission
Now's the Time
To make your own decision
Which side is free
Which side is imprisoned
Election day
Election day

Fuck the rules
Fuck the debating your rights
As long as we don't hurt no one
We can party all night (ALL NIGHT!)
Why can't we agree to disagree
Mind your business
Let others be...

Election day
You know we're on a mission
Now's the Time
To make your own decision
Which side is free
Which side is imprisoned
Election day
Election day

Election day
You know we're on a mission
Now's the Time a
To make your own decision
Which side is free
Which side is imprisoned
Election day
Election day

The oppressed
Are obsessed
With freedom




Only together
Can we ever beat them

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Election Day" by Target Acquired convey a sense of urgency and responsibility as individuals navigate the complexities of elections and democracy. The repetition of the phrase "Election day" emphasizes the importance of this pivotal moment, signaling that it is a crucial time for individuals to actively engage in the decision-making process. The lyrics prompt listeners to consider which side represents true freedom and which side is constrained or imprisoned, urging them to make a choice that aligns with their values and beliefs.


The song delves into the idea of power dynamics and manipulation, suggesting that in a system characterized by mob mentality and deception, true freedom is elusive. The reference to "mob rules" implies a lack of individual agency, highlighting the collective influence that can either perpetuate or challenge oppressive systems. The lyrics critique the prevalence of lies in political discourse and the complacency of the public in questioning these falsehoods, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding liberty and unity against forces that seek to divide and subjugate.


As the song progresses, it becomes evident that the act of voting, traditionally seen as a cornerstone of democracy, is portrayed as a tool that can lead to oppression and heightened conflict. The lyrics confront the notion that elections can inadvertently exacerbate societal divisions and fuel aggression between opposing factions. The idea that the voting process can deepen the rifts within society and inhibit true freedom underscores a disillusionment with the current state of affairs and a call for greater unity and solidarity among individuals in the face of systemic injustices.


The final verses of the song reflect a call to action and a rallying cry for collective resistance against oppressive forces. By emphasizing the power of unity and collaboration in overcoming oppression, the lyrics urge listeners to band together in pursuit of genuine freedom. The notion that only through solidarity can the oppressed triumph over their oppressors encapsulates a message of hope and empowerment, suggesting that despite the challenges presented by the political landscape, there is strength in unity and a shared commitment to upholding the principles of liberty and justice.
