I just heard a great new Todd Snider song on the radio and thought people here might enjoy the lyrics. Snider's been turning out folky country songs for a while which are alternately thoughtful, hilarious or both nad this is his most overtly lefty political tune yet. Loved it. Fell over laughing.
So here are the partial lyrics to "Conservative Christian, Right Wing, Republican, Straight, White, American Male:"
Conservative Christian, right-wing republican, straight white American male.
Gay bashing, black fearing, war fightin' tree killin', regional leaders of self.
Frat-housin', keg-tappin', shirt-tuckin', back-slappin' haters of hippies like me.
Tree-huggin', peace-lovin', pot-smokin', porn-watchin' lazy-ass hippies like me.
Tree-huggin', love-makin', pro-choicin', gay-weddin' widespread digging hippies like me.
Skin-color-blinded, conspiracy-minded protesters of corporate greed.
We who have nothing and most likely will till we all end up locked up in jails.
By conservative christian, right-wing republican, straight white american males.
