Constitutionality,
like crime, and kids,
like COPS, and the military
like impeachment, pardons
war powers, and pederasty,
become our party's top priority
as culture war cudgels
turned against a moral moiety.
Religious freedom never meant,
"choose between a Baptist,
or a Methodist bent."
I'm free to choose none
Or any one of the three.
I'm free to send you packing
When you try to force yours on me.
I'm a Conservative,
Whoa, I'm a Conservative
Intrinsically opposed
to live and let live.
I'm a Conservative.
Yeah, I'm a Conservative
I pack a great big gun
To compensate for my little one.
You're white Anglo-Saxon
patrician-class progeny.
The world is yours by virtue
of Manifest Destiny.
You were taught to see liberty
as a limited commodity
as a duel to the death
in a zero-sum rivalry.
I'm a Conservative,
Whoa, I'm a Conservative
Intrinsically opposed
to live and let live;
But, I'm a Conservative,
Uncultured, unworldly,
and not the least bit ashamed to be
Whoa, I'm a Conservative;
Livin' country miles short of
high school-level literacy.
Remember that godsent prophet Q,
That "prophet" whose prophecies
never came true?
Seems like just last week
you led a lemming line
sworn to defend some
now abandoned incline.
From no-go zones in Birmingham;
To that masher in the lady's room
is really a man!
Jade Helm, Pizzagate,
Birthers, and Benghazi:
You went balls to the walls
on every conspiracy!
But, to a draft-dodging, debt-welching
racist slumlord parody
who lies to his base pathologically
you bend the knee, and pledge your fealty.
Whoa, I'm a Conservative
Yo, I'm a Conservative
Intrinsically opposed
To live and let live.
I'm a Conservative…
Uncultured, unworldly.
And not the least bit 'shamed to be.
I'm a Conservative…
Hear me shout!
Louder when I don't know
what I'm shouting about!
