House Of Ill-Repute
The Fat Robber's Son Goodtime Rag
[ intro to the tune "Lodi" by John Fogerty; Creedence Clearwater Revival ]
[ main body to the tune "House of the Rising Sun", traditional ]
We are conservative fundamental and we believe in right to life
We vote for the right politics that represent greed and strife
We're too concerned with rights of unborn to give a goddamn about the livin'
Oh Lord, they're carryin' abortion signs again
We are conservative fundamental and we obey every law and rule
We don't want sex education or evolution taught in our school
We believe our god created the earth but doesn't give a damn about pollution
Oh Lord, they're carryin' abortion signs again
We are conservative fundamental, the immoral minority
We clean up the outside of the cup, we don't believe in being free
We oppose every single cause that in any way benefits the livin'
Oh Lord, they're carryin' abortion signs again. . .
There is a house in my hometown
They claim represents your son
It's been the ruin of many a free spirit
And God I know I'm one
Thou shalt not drink, gamble or chew
They say we shouldn't have any fun
Don't you dare ever go with the girls that do
They claim you are their big gun
They swear that you represent our great land
But they vote for all those who screw
Our sick, our poor, our common workingman
They don't really care what is true
Now they claim your son was our best friend
But they never visit our bar or our band
They let our finest children die in the streets
They won't stoop to lend a hand
They clean up their act and dress in fine clothes
Like a graveyard built for the dead
They read your good book and then pass the plate
Never doing what the Samaritan said
I visited their house just the other day
And I truly wished them well
But if this is the way you want your children to be
I hope I go to hell
Now, there is a house in my hometown
They claim represents your son
It's been the ruin of many a free spirit
And God I know I'm one
We are conservative fundamental, we know for certain we are right
We serve plasticized religion with all our hearts and souls and might
Don't bother us with facts from Matthew 25, don't talk to us about givin'
Oh Lord, they're carryin' abortion signs again
We are conservative fundamental, we beat our salvation army drum
We believe the Bible is God, so we don't bother to listen to his son
Bow down to Babylon every Sunday, salute her stain-glass idols now and then
Oh Lord, they're carryin' abortion signs again
Oh Lord, they're carryin' abortion signs again
Oh Lord, they're carryin' abortion signs a-g-a-i-n-!
