Al Gore's "Losing my Election"

"Losing My Election," by Steve Barr
(to the tune of R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion")

US is bigger
It's bigger than you
And I am V.P.
The lengths that I will go to
The concession Tuesday night
Oh no I've said too much
I took it back

That's me in the paper
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my election
Trying to catch up to you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't won enough
I thought that I heard Dick Cheney
I thought that I heard you won
I think I thought I ought to sigh

Every voter
Of every FL county I'm
Choosing litigation
Trying to get ahead of you
Like a hurt lost and blinded pol
Oh no they've punched two holes
It burns me up

Consider this
The turn of the century
Consider this
The count that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all my vote tallies
Come tumbling down
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you won
I think I thought I ought to sigh

Bet this is Nader's dream
We needed all the Greens
