21. Sayeth the Voter
Why can’t we get by without the broken ballets You ask [ost-rak-ismos]
‘Cause when you’ve spent your life watching from the cheap seats
You’ll take any chance to rewrite the lines for the lead
‘Cause Even their expulsions executions they who deign
to reign over the rest of us are decided by the roll of a die
Besides even if we realise we messed up So what
It’s not really our responsibility ‘Cause like it or not
We do what they tell us each and every day
Just give us this much and we’ll call it quits
History will be the judge or whatever it is they say (you might say) so what
For likes of us when we’re dead we’ll dead and forgotten
We won’t feel a thing no pain not even an itch
21. Said by the Voter
Earthen fragment ballot [ostrakismos] cannot be quit Why? [you/someone/they] ask?
Well Because those for whom taking the audience seat is not enough
Can change the plot for the lead/main actor on the stage
Because they/themselves the important, rabble-reigning-over characters’
Explusions and death sentences too are determined by the roll of the die/dice
What’s more even if you/we/they understand later it was a mistake
It is okay to take no responsibility for anything Because [in] the quotidian/every day/usual/normality
That comes [nuance of word choice: whether we like it or not] those blokes do just as they are told
Just let us/them [i.e. the voters] do that much and we’ll call it even
The final judgement is history or so they [the hotshots] say however
[We’re talking about] us, who after/upon dying, who will be completely/ utterly forgotten
If we don’t experience even pain we won’t even feel an itch
