My Daddy is a Democrat
Ian Gibson

My daddy is a Democrat, that’s what he wants to be. 
All he really wants to do is hate the GOP.
He hates when they restrict his rights or start an unsafe war.
More tax cuts for the rich simply make him roar.
“Small government!” he yells, “what a stupid cause!
How can people live today, without a billion laws?”
“I know what is wrong and I know what is correct
Follow my strict rules and show some respect!”
My mommy is a Republican, that’s what she wants to be.
My mommy and my daddy never seem to agree.
“I protect the right of the people to spend as they please
And to the poor I give slices of American cheese.”
“True family values is what I hold so dear
and controlling the people by use of constant fear.”
“The American government should not restrict your right
to shoot, to live and to sleep safely at night.”
My brother is an Anarchist, that’s what he wants to be.
For any form of government he does not want to see.
Last week he was a communist, a fascist before then.
He’s really only following the Daily Show trend.
“Corruption is everywhere, companies are buying votes.
We’re sending soldiers to foreign lands on billion dollar boats.”
“Total freedom of the people is what I really want,
it would not be as scary as a Cheney quail hunt.”
My family is always fighting, they never get along.
Claiming they alone are right, but everyone is wrong.
Political parties are the cause of all our stress,
Turning our government and country into one big mess.
So I’m an independent, that’s what I want to be.
