I gave my ballot to the postman / He put it in his sack
But then the man with the orange hair / Said you can’t vote while Black
He wrote upon it
Return to sender / Registration unknown
No such voter / No-vote zone
We had a pandemic / He failed at that
I write “You’re fired!” but my ballot keeps coming back
So then I took it to the post office / Machines were broken down
The postmaster general said / Can’t mail votes in this town
He wrote upon it
Return to sender / Registration unknown
No such voter / No-vote zone
This time I took the ballot myself / Down to my polling place
Where I found, to shock and dismay / Just an empty space
They wrote upon it
No people power / Democracy unknown
No such voters / No-vote zone
