The Lefty Rhetoric Blues

from Roger Manning (RM1 make​-​under) by Roger Manning

lyrics

listen to the lefties talking on the radio
they're putting down the government
what the fuck do they know?
they gotta be fools to think they
can get a sympathetic ear here

lefty folksinger rhetoric
has such a boring ring
they make me sick
they over-simplify everything
it's always no more bombs, no more nukes..

...but, then on the other hand
they were right about vietnam

they want of nicaragua, out of el salvador
but what about the fascist commies coming up the back door?
oh no....

...but, then on the other hand
they were right about vietnam
but, then on the other hand
they the only ones who give a damn

listen to the lefties talking on the radio
they're putting down the government
what do they know?

...ever since i heard all that stuff about vietnam
i keep my left ear open
