Wasted Years - Iron Maiden
In which the Hero, in his travel to the polling site, is charged with feelings of both remorse for the stasis he has felt and the optimism infusing his sense of possibility and progression.
Electric Eye - Judas Priest
In which the Hero, in a darkened moment, recalls the gross invasions of privacy and unmitigated proliferation of technologically augmented policing practices, bringing him to present day circumstances.
Revolution Calling - Queensrÿche
In which the Hero ponders the alternatives presented by challenger, a figure maligned by the incumbency and shadowy to the general electorate, who promises a cure to his malaise through radical alternatives to the present model.
Last in Line - Dio
In which the Hero develops a richer understanding of his own empowerment in the election process, as he stands, literally last in line, as the final numerical stalwart for his candidate. The immediate presence of facility brings him to a final confrontation with the cloudy and ambivalent competition from the desire to do good with the desire to be an unquartered agonist to the powers that be.
Extra Man - The Fucking Champs
In which the Hero awakes to the first day of the new regime, bought and secured. Initially, his elation is evident. However, the realization that his problems transcend unimpacted the potency of a regime, that they are indeed issues of his own authoring, possession, and eventual exorcism, bring cataclysmic discord to his world. Then, he resolves that his actions have always been about a quickening of the utile self, rather than of a representative figure, and he looks to his true winnings with hope.
Fanfare for the Common Man - ELP
Epilogue - In which the hero gets motherfuckin funky all over Chariots of Fire
