Who Are the Electors?

[Pre-Chorus]
Who are the electors?
They're the ones who elect
The ones that you vote for
Who will vote in your stead

[Chorus]
You signal your choice
You give them your trust
But it's up to them
And not up to us
We're only the voters
They are the electors

[Verse 1]
In Article Two of the U.S. Constitution
The framers spelled out how the chief executive is chosen
They laid out the rules for elections
They wanted a system that would be free from corruption
The winner would be chosen by an unaligned delegation

[Bridge]
Without partisan affiliation

[Pre-Chorus]
They're called the electors
Because they elect
They're like our protectors
Adding one extra step

[Chorus]
You signal your choice
You give them your trust
But it's up to them
And not up to us
We're only the voters
They are the electors

[Verse 2]
Every state gets a number of electors that's exactly the same
As the number of senators and representatives they claim
Plus three added on for D.C

[Pre-Chorus]
They are the electors
All five hundred and thirty-eight
They are the electors
Giving smaller states extra weight

[Chorus]
You signal your choice
You give them your trust
But it's up to them
And not up to us
We're only the voters
They are the electors
