Right Versus Duty Blues

I got the right to vote versus my civic duty blues,
And juggling conflicting emotions has got me all confused.
Tomorrow’s an election of historic proportions,
But I’m gonna be on jury duty — listening to motions!

I have the will to vote, to serve justice I’m inclined,
But how can I be in two places at the very same time?
Shoulda voted early, shoulda mailed in my vote,
But how could I have known I’d servin’ at the whimsy of the court?

I know my duty and I know my rights.
I think the clerk of the court did it out of spite.
I know my rights and I know my duty civic,
But meeting ’em both tomorrow’s gonna make me psychotic.

I got the right to vote versus my civic duty blues,
I’m in a patriotic pickle from my head down to my shoes.
Is there nowhere to to turn, no one to turn to?
All’s I can do is ask, What would Jon Stewart do?
