I Hate Republicans from The Happytones Play Politics

I Hate Republicans 2004

They stand for greed
that’s unrestrained by shame or pity.
They own the factory,
the penthouse in the city.

They pledge allegiance to
their friends with lots of dollars.
They concentrate the wealth
and they disregard the squalor.

(Chorus) I hate Republicans.
I hate Republicans, baby,
I can’t stand those Republicans.
I hate that old Republican party.

Their self-esteem is high,
they feel no obligation.
They put their faith and trust
in God and corporations.

They stand for piety
that doesn’t suffer rivals.
They’re waving flags and guns
and quoting from the Bible.

(Chorus)

Comrades, arise now,
while there’s something left to save.
Fight for a future
where not everything is paved.
Though they are likely to prevail,
all creation insists
that we strive to resist
the Republicans.

They stand to profit from
the mess they’re engineering,
the new world
order of unbridled profiteering.

(Chorus)
