Voting Day!

let's queue up some patriotic music!

When I was going to sleep last night, a slinky pop song from 1975 was running through my head. As I contemplated it, I realized it fit my mood. The song is “Have a Good Time” by Paul Simon.

Yesterday it was my birthday
I hung one more year on the line
I should be depressed
My life's a mess
But I'm having a good time

Ooh, I've been loving and loving and loving
I'm exhausted from loving so well
I should go to bed
But a voice in my head
Says, "Ah, what the hell?"

Have a good time (good time, baby)
Have a good time (good time chat)
Have a good time (have a good time, baby)
Have a good time (have a good time)

Paranoia strikes deep in the heartland
But I think it's all overdone
Exaggerating this and exaggerating that
They don't have no fun

I don't believe what I read in the papers
They're just out to capture my dime
I ain't worrying
And I ain't scurrying
I'm having a good time

Have a good time
Have a good time
Have a good time
Have a good time

Maybe I'm laughing my way to disaster
Maybe my race has been run
Maybe I'm blind to the fate of mankind
But what can be done?

So God bless the goods we was given
And God bless the U.S. of A.
And God bless our standard of livin'
Let's keep it that way
And we'll all have a good time

have a good time
(Good time chat) have a good time
(Have a good time, baby) have a good time
Have a good time (have a good time)

Have a good time (have a good time, baby)
Have a good time (good time chat)
Have a good time (pass all good time, baby)
Have a good time (have a good time)
