Tuesday is the day!
Everybody’s talking about the so-called ‘Bradley-effect’.
In 1982 the afro-american Tom Bradley lost the election for governor of California despite being way ahead in the polls. The reason being that many decided to vote against him for racial issues once they stood in the booth. Right now the question – a bit constructed if you ask me – is whether or not someting like this could happen to our Messiah Barack Obama?
This song is about this question and in a broader sense the doubt within the american people. Could the nasty factor lead to a surprise? I doubt it, but I admit, that often in a time of decision many stupid thoughts go through my head. Most of the time they do not have an impact, but who could know.
Obama said he’s not gonna be the perfect president. That’s fine, but we can’t afford to many imperfect voters. Screw the outcome, just don’t let race decide.
God Bless the Dubious

It’s in the writing on the wall
It’s in the thoughts of big and small
and every conversation made
This race will rise above the truth
but things could inside the booth
God bless the dubious and me
With every turn
that the road takes in a day
we’ll live and learn
The world turns just one way
It’s there right where it always was
A song that somehow says it all
God bless the dubious and me
With every turn
that the road takes in a day
we’ll live and learn
The world turns the same way
God bless the woman in a suit
and then the man that could stay put
God bless the bones inside the dog
God bless the righteous and the wrong
God bless the priest who wears a thong
God bless the dubious and me
