The problem is all inside your head she said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
I’d like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to win the midterms
She said it’s really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won’t be lost or misconstrued
But I’ll repeat myself at the risk of being rude
There must be fifty ways to win the midterms
Just hop on the phone, Joan
Download MiniVan, Stan
Make out a check, Beck
Just listen to me
Remind all your friends, Jen
Check their registration
You can canvass through text, Rex
And get yourself free
She said it grieves me so to see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again
I said I appreciate that and would you please explain
About the fifty ways to win the midterms
Just knock on some doors, Noor
Make a few calls, Paul
Bring volunteers snacks, Jack
Oh listen to me
Shoot misinfo down, Brown
Plant lawn signs around town
Do data entry, Lee
And get yourself free
She said it’s much too urgent to just sleep on it tonight
Look around at all that’s happening and you will see the light
So come and join me, put your back into the fight
There must be fifty ways to win the midterms
Just canvass a street, Jeet
Hand out some lit, Britt
Put a letter in the paper, April
And get yourself free
Drive folks to the polls, Cole
Report if they’re not on the rolls
Cast your own vote, yo
And get yourself free
