One, two, three, four This is how it goes How to vote How to vote How to vote How to vote Write a one in the box next to your preferred candiate And then number the boxes two, three, four And so on against all the other candidates Until all the boxes have been numbered In the order of your preference How to vote How to vote How to vote How to vote Or the repercussions of political ambition and personal rivalries Within student leadership and media organisations In the context of the post-COVID-19 neo-liberal university institution

Rolling down town on my two-wheeled heap I got a hundred in my pocket and a secret to keep Buy a rocket, buy a poster, buy a piece of my mind It's just another day in the buy-out grind Green shirt, wet feet, black helmet to match And on my shoulders, dad's jacket with the miscoloured patch I'm tired and I'm beaten, it's the end of the week Put the pedal to the metal I'm your personal freak One down, three to go Wanna win this race, get ya face in the dirt Two down, two to go Wanna win this race, get ya face on a shirt Three down, one to go If you wanna win this race, then it's sure gonna hurt We got it, we got it, we got it, we got it Yeah Playing party politics is part of the play You party praying you needn't party 'til the break of the day Sunrise Eyes shut tight You better wake up there's another party tonight You're rolling down town in a four-wheeled fort It's a status-symbol hatchback that your cashed-up mother bought It's got a cardboard box in the spacious back seat Filled with logo-covered t-shirts and a fraudulent balance sheet One down, three to go Wanna win this race, get ya face in the dirt Two down, two to go Wanna win this race, get ya face on a shirt Three down, one to go If you wanna win this race, then it's sure gonna hurt You got it, you got it, you got it, you got it Yeah Woo woo One down, four to go Two down, three to go Three down, two to go Four down, one to go We got it, we got it, we got it, we got it We got it, we got it, we got it

about

Originally composed and recorded as the soundtrack to Canberra Youth Theatre's 2022 production of How to Vote! by Julian Larnach - How to Vote! is an album that shows Patrick Haesler's supreme musical versatility. In the service of the amibitious show (which premiered at the Canberra Theatre Centre's Playhouse) Patrick has composed and recorded a host of tracks ranging in style from classic rock to bedroom pop to film score and beyond. There's jazz, there's pub rock songs, there's solo guitar, there's campfire jams - there's everything!

Purchase on Bandcamp includes the 23 track album PLUS an additional 27 bonus tracks. These include additional songs from the production, songs that didn't make it into the show, remixes, alternate takes, ringtones and more. The full 50-track album is available ONLY on Bandcamp - and includes additional goodies like promotional photos and videos.
