Let it Be...OVER

Let it Be...OVER

When I find myself in times of trouble, 
Campaign ads, they come to me, 
Blaring words of discord: "Vote for me." 
But in my hour of darkness, 
Twitter still barrages me, 
Spewing tweets of outrage, 
Let me be.        
Let it be, let it be, 
Let it be, oh, let it be…
The whispers of exhaustion: Let it be…OVER.        
And when the broken-hearted voters 
Living in this world agree, 
There is a solution: "Turn off TV." 
For though they may be bombarded, 
There is still a chance that we will see, 
A day with better options,
Let us dream.        
Let us dream, let us dream, 
Let us dream, oh, let us dream, 
Cries the weary nation: Let us dream.        
When debates descend in chaos,
And pundits shout on every screen,
Talking heads in circles,
Let it be...OVER.        
And though the noise surrounds me,
I roll my eyes exhaustedly,
Lost in mindless soundbites,
Let it be…OVER.        
Let it be, let it be,
Let it be, oh, let it be...
The whispers of exhaustion:
Let it be... OVER.        
And when the broken-hearted people 
Living in the world agree, 
There will be an answer: 
Let's make tea!        
For though they may be parted, 
There is still a chance that they will see, 
Cocktails might be better, 
Let’s have three.        
I'll take three, I'll take three, 
I'll take three, oh, three at least, 
Whispering the wisdom: Let it be…OVER.        
And if the outlook’s cloudy, 
There is still a light that shines on me, 
A neon bar sign saying, "Drinks are free!"
Drink for free, drink for free, 
Drink for free, oh, drink for free, 
Promise or delusion: Let it be…OVER        
Let it be, let it be,
Let it be, oh, let it be...
Distraction and exhaustion,
Let it be... OVER.        

Fun stuff, Gil! I think Sir Paul would appreciate the application. ?? I stopped watching the news about three years ago, and I am definitely better for it. But I’ll still be glad for 11/6/24.
