lyrics

Maybe if I vote Republican
I'll finally get to be
a big ol' billionaire bank bastard
eating wagyu and the weak.
Oh, and the gub'mint ain't gon' touch me
if I don't keep money here.
Lord please let me vote Republican this year.

No I never trust authorities
They're always after me
But those cops, they best come runnin'
when there's black kids on my street.
We need more rules, but just don't regulate
my shotgun or my beer.
Lord, please let me vote Republican this year.

Oh yes I hate the net-gross paycheck part
that the taxman takes from me.
No my hard-earned cash ain't goin'
toward your stupid schools and streets.
Why should I subsidize the ER trips
for hobos, sluts, and queers?
Lord, please let me vote Republican this year.

I deserve every right and resource
That the world has given me.
Not like all them other takers
full of laziness and greed
Oh, I've done everything with no one's help
I got nothin' left to fear
Lord, please let me vote Republican this year.
