AIN’T NO REPUBLICAN- the lyrics

Well I might be a liar

and I might be a thief

might take the path of least resistance

when I’m seeking some relief

I might do anything for money

and still don’t got me none

but at least I ain’t a Republican

at least I ain’t a Republican

 

Well I might go call in sick to work

and then go out and play

I might roll the dice and lose all night

and cheat at cards all day

I might curse the darkness

and then damn the rising sun

but at least I ain’t a Republican

at least I ain’t a Republican

 

Well I might kick the dog some

and I might throw the cat

I might attack my television

with a big old baseball bat

I might spend Sunday on the highway

shooting small game with my gun

but at least I ain’t a Republican

at least I ain’t a Republican

 

Well I might read my bible

drinking whiskey on the side

I might consult a pagan oracle

or look in a Newt’s eye

I might root for some dark power

blow this world to kingdom come

but at least I ain’t a Republican

at least I ain’t a Republican
