"I wrote ‘Sic of Elephants’ on election night in 2004 when Bush was reelected. I went to sleep in the blinking red state of Ohio and when I woke up it was solid red. The song’s about people’s capacity to convince themselves that something so wrong is right. The harder they have to try, the more fervent they become. I changed a few things to update the song for this election"
