I layed my father in the ground on a Tuesday
Just me and the parson were there
He said, "Do you have any thing to say?
Do you have any wisdom to share?"
I go back to that last day in his hospital bed—
both of us gasping for air.
He whispered this straight through the weight of that moment
and then he was no longer there.
He said, "Don't vote—
Nobody asked you.
Who died and made you viscount?
No, you should never vote—
That's not how i raised you,
So don't you go running your mouth."
"Don't vote—
Nobody asked you .
No one needs to know your affairs.
Lord, I pray you,
Don't vote—
And bring shame on our family
Listen, son, nobody cares.
