[00:00.000] 作词 : David Henry Hwang/Jeanine Tesori [00:00.378] 作曲 : Jeanine Tesori [00:00.757]The ballot box is a mystery [00:03.981]Though no one exactly understands why it works [00:06.117]We all trust in its ultimate wisdom [00:09.333]Behold, I tell you, a mystery [00:13.101]From our ancestral history [00:17.381]How the leaders of our institution [00:19.772]Ah ah ah ah [00:21.499]Are chosen by our Constitution [00:23.724]Ah ah ah ah [00:26.419]It's easy, sensible, and smart [00:29.866]Which you can learn by heart [00:33.074]By repeating after me [00:35.417]You'll get this in no time [00:37.778]You got two [00:38.417]Two? [00:38.690]I said two, main parties [00:40.481]Well whatsamatter with one? [00:41.449]Well folks, that would be authoritarian [00:43.305]Utterly and totally [00:44.042]A totalitarian government [00:45.474]Totalitarian government? [00:46.777]That would be bad! [00:47.706]Why is that bad? [00:48.545]You choose your views [00:50.122]You win, you lose [00:52.114]It's easy, sensible, and smart [00:54.809]Which you can learn by heart [00:56.441]By repeating after me [00:58.586]Good so far? [00:59.337]Yeah! [01:01.058]The candidates are chosen through a primary or caucus [01:04.641]Which leads to a convention that's orderly or raucous [01:08.210]The candidates are chosen through a primary or caucus [01:11.810]Which leads to a convention that's orderly or raucous [01:15.737]Every four years and you can spend as much money as you want to [01:21.698]Is that a good idea? [01:22.601]We're voting [01:23.697]We're voting [01:24.555]We're voting [01:25.433]We're voting [01:26.273]We're voting [01:27.033]We're voting [01:27.905]In America [01:28.881]In America [01:29.746]We're voting [01:30.737]We're voting [01:31.569]We're voting [01:32.545]We're voting [01:33.434]We're voting [01:34.426]We're voting [01:35.377]In America [01:36.274]In America [01:37.169]When do we vote? [01:39.281]When do we vote? [01:40.841]On the Tuesday after the first Monday in the month of November [01:46.433]The month of November [01:48.018]On the Tuesday after the first Monday in the month of November [01:55.185]We're voting [01:56.338]We're voting [01:57.162]We're voting [01:58.010]We're voting [01:58.705]In America! [02:04.410]I got it! [02:08.802]Now onto college [02:10.105]There's more? [02:10.625]Now onto college? [02:12.098]The Electoral College [02:13.369]Oh, the Electoral College! [02:16.161]Each of the 50 states receives a number of electors [02:19.674]Equal to its total number of Senators and Representatives [02:23.474]Wait... [02:23.866]The electors are pledged to vote for the candidate of the party [02:26.898]Unless they choose not to! [02:28.449]What? [02:28.841]The winner of the majority of votes in each state takes all the state's electors [02:33.707]In a winner-take-all system [02:35.204]Why? [02:35.811]The Electoral College ensured that smaller and rural states [02:40.292]Had a disproportionate say in selecting a president [02:44.356]Which in the early days of our great nation [02:50.140]Ensured they could keep their slaves! [02:55.669]Hail, hail, the word of the ballot! [02:59.531]Hail, hail, the word of the ballot! [03:02.813]And the next President of the United States is... [03:06.331]The word of the ballot! [03:08.395]Not Hillary Clinton! [03:11.475]What? [03:12.347]That's not possible [03:13.524]What just happened? [03:14.461]Could the ballot box be wrong? [03:15.932]But the ballot box is never wrong! [03:17.491]So the next President is... [03:19.979]The guy who hates China! [03:26.560]We're with him, with the man [03:28.345]With him we know we can [03:30.417]Let our hatred run free [03:32.482]Destroy our enemy [03:34.225]With H-I-M we'll bury them [03:37.680]Bring them to their knees [03:39.481]These damn Chinese! [03:41.649]They've broken into the building! [03:43.122]Let's wreck this joint! [03:44.713]Yeah! [03:45.689]Make America great again! [03:47.281]Make America great again! [03:49.218]Make America, make America great again! [03:52.538]Hear the call, make them fall [03:54.404]Rip them all limb from limb [03:58.213]We're with him [04:00.020]We're with him [04:02.828]Chinese, go home!
