Candidate Lyrics by Songs About Rivers

Symbols and Signs

2024

[Verse 1]
These kids drove out in vans from Ohio
Ready to change the world
Mapquest directions on the passenger seat
When world saving missions needed cartridge ink
They said when it’s our time, our time
When these boomers get out of our way
They said when it’s our time, our time
Remember how it feels, to mean what we say
[Chorus]
And it feels like a lot of time
And it feels like a lot of time
And it feels like a lot of time
Since we took that drive
[Verse 2]
The campaign trail was exhausting
When his name wasn’t on the yard signs
All the cycles spent making phone calls
And compromise
He swore when it’s my time, my time
When the slogans all come from my heart
When it’s my time, my time
If you know how to lose, you’ve won from the start
[Chorus]
And it feels like a lot of time
And it feels like a lot of time
And it feels like a lot of time
Since we even tried
[Verse 3]
Now the chairman is throwing his hat in
He’s tried to do everything right
If your boss can keep all of his promises
This could be a new kind of fight
He said this is my time, my time
Wait, what do the numbers say
He said this is my time, my time
That kid he knows nothing, get out of my way
[Chorus]
And it feels like a lot of time
And it feels like a lot of time
And it feels like a lot of time
Since he knew himself
[Chorus]
And it feels like a lot of time
And it feels like a lot of time
And it feels like a lot of time
Since we had a choice
