Come sit down
Your name is on the table
Between the graves and cradles
Before the old and new
Wait your turn and smile for the papers
The sanders and the shapers will have their way with you
And shake the hands of masters
While outside insurrection
The sound can?t be mistaken
So pretend like you don?t know them
And say you?re goin' beyond it
You're ready for some peace
And who can argue with that argument when no one says a thing?
verse 2
Come kneel down and beg for some redemption
You finally learned your lesson
That this is how we change
E- A
No patriot or traitor
You?ve learned to sit for supper
And you?re sleeping in your cage
Its politics as normal
Its votes and views and morals
None of which mean nothing to the people kept in storage
Who wake up in the morning
The nights are in your hands
At least the smashers and the crashers know exactly where they stand
Hey mister talk radio for once we agree
That we can?t afford no liberals in times like these
On our feet or on our backs and they're on their knees
No, we can?t afford no liberals in times like these
verse 3
Come lay down
They?ll put you underwater
Like clay unto a potter
They'll wash the dirty clean
Let?s hear your plan for a Natural World Order
Free trade across the borders
Gas efficient war machine
The debt tree needs a trimming
The poison earth needs weeding
Your houses are sinking
And the seas they are rising
It?s all so inconvenient
Let?s stall it while we can
And so its business as usual
Give the liberal a hand
Hey mister talk radio for once we agree
That we can?t afford no liberals in times like these
On our feet or on our backs and they're on their knees
No, we can?t afford no liberals in times like these
(make it sloppy!)
Times like these
Here in the brave new world
Two sides of a grand old flag unfurled
Here in the brave new world
(Palm mute)
Hey mister talk radio for once we agree
That we can?t afford no liberals in times like these
On our feet or on our backs and they're on their knees
No, we can?t afford no liberals in times like these
Hey mister talk radio for once we agree
That we can?t afford no liberals in times like these
On our feet or on our backs and they're on their knees
No, we can?t afford no liberals in times like these
Times like these
