Oh the free states and the slave states, decided to have a party
They’d party like it was 1787, yes siree
But they couldn’t agree on much, so a compromise was drafted
That’s how the electoral college came to be
Now most colleges have tuition, and some ivy-covered professors
But this college meets only once every four years
At that rate they’re still in their first term, first term freshmen year
And you know how freshmen can’t handle their beer
Now twice in the last five elections, that college got it all mixed up
The loser of the popular vote won the race
But if you look at the way it was set up, it was a last escape hatch
Our last escape hatch against disgrace
“Independent Judgment” said James Madison
And Hamilton thought the electors would be more wise
And the same bias in the system, that gives power to the smaller states
Gives Republicans an advantage realized
Oh the red states and the blue states, decided to have a party
And party like it was 2016
But democracy has suffered, and we are all the poorer
Between a rock and a hard place we are caught between
