See the Liberals here in Madison ,
And they all look just the
same.
There's a tall one and a
short one,
And a white one and a black one,
And a white one and a black one,
And a gay one and a straight
one,
And they all look just the
same.
And the boys all wear pony
tails,
And the girls all have
tattoos,
And they all are nonconformists,
And they all look just the same.
And they all are nonconformists,
And they all look just the same.
And they all went to UW,
And majored in the liberal
arts,
And they all are deep
thinkers,
And they all think just the same.
And they all think just the same.
And they all read the Cap Times,
And they all read the Isthmus,
And they all talk about it,
And they all sound just the same.
And they all sound just the same.
And they're Social Justice
Warriors,
And they're all brave
revolutionaries,
And they all want safe spaces,
For different views scare
them all the same.
And they all are for
diversity,
And they all are for
tolerance,
And they all hate
conservatives,
And those who disagree just
the same.
And they're all ignorant of
economics,
And they're all ignorant of
history,
And they're ignorant of the
Constitution,
But they all know what's
right just the same.
And they all vote Progressive
Dane
And they all vote Straight
Democrat,
And they all love Bernie
Sanders,
And they all vote just the
same.
And they all are open-minded,
And they all love peace and
people,
And they all love all
cultures,
But hate Christian Rednecks
just the same.

Tune: "Little Boxes"
"Little Boxes: It was not written by Woody Guthrie, but a little old lady named Malvina Reynolds back in the early folkie days of the '60's, before that crowd morphed in foul long-haired hippies
ReplyDeleteYes. The parody I took it from, "See the Beatniks in the village" credited Woody, but I am told he didn't write that either. Maybe he sang it. Sorry I got bad info. ~Bob
ReplyDeleteBob, I love this! Please change the "their" to "they're" in the fourth stanza (or whatever that's called).
