The Ironic Prescience of Matchbox 20

When I wasn't fervently refreshing several differents results pages at once last night, I was hopping back-and-forth between live feeds of each of the candidates' campaign rallies.

I brought up Romney's just in time to hear some rock music playing in the background. I thought I recognized the band, and sure enough, it was a group called Matchbox 20. What's interesting, though, is the song they were playing. It was called "How Far We've Come" and its chorus goes like this:

Matchbox 20 - "How Far We've Come"

But I believe the world is burning to the ground
oh well I guess we're gonna find out
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,
let's see how far we've come
let's see how far we've come

You can't make this stuff up.
