This is a song about Grover Norquist.
Born in 1956 in Weston, Massachusetts
A little boy found his calling in American politics
Volunteered for Nixon's campaign at just twelve years old
Later, Americans for Tax Reform would become his starring role
Freedom is his game
Freedom is his game
and he plays it with force
Made his pledge the highest standard, told Congress to stay the course
They call him politician, but he has no remorse
Cause you don't NEED to get elected to be somebody's primary source
Grover Norquist
Conservative hero
Conservative hero
Fighting endlessly to take our tax rate down to a steady zero
On the rise
but he refuses to compromise
and he's got more than half the House of Representatives on his side, oh no
Red Grover, Red Grover, send house Republicans over
to find out why there's nothing getting done
He says Obama isn't trying
He says Obama isn't trying
the Democrats are all crying
and the government should be snubbed until we can drown it in a bathtub!
and the government should be snubbed until we can drown it in a bathtub!
and the government should be snubbed until we can drown it in a bathtub!
It's our American right
to fight the good fight
and in the privacy of our homes, to drown our government in a bathtub
All our revenue is spent on stupid Democrat things
So why not go all out and drown that thing in the kitchen sink!
Our legislators are haters
Our legislators are haters
The Democrats are freaks
The Democrats are freaks
and the only good American can kill and skin his own fresh meats
and the only good American can kill and skin his own fresh meats
and the only good American can kill and skin his own fresh meats
Get off our backs, o government
Get off our backs, o government
We owe you not a dime!
We owe you not a dime!
and we'll fight to have our way if it takes up all our time
and we'll fight to have our way if it takes up all our time
Grover Norquist
Grover Norquist
Grover Norquist
Conservative hero
Conservative hero
Fighting endlessly to take our tax rate down to a steady zero
On the rise
but he refuses to compromise
and he's got more than half the House of Representatives on his side, oh crap
Norquist went to public school, at good ol' Weston High
funded by the revenue he works hard to deny
Who's taught him civic duties at such a tender age?
Why, the teachers we should pay less, says Grover the magic mage
So SHUT UP, Grover Norquist
Your hostage stance won't work
if we choose to stop humoring a ne'er elected jerk
SHUT. UP. GROVER NORQUIST.
THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND THE SENATE ARE JUST TRYING TO COME TO SOME AGREEMENTS
SO WE CAN MOVE ON, AND MAKE SOME LEGISLATIVE CHANGES IN OUR GOVERNMENT THAT WE NEED TO RECOVER FROM THE WORST RECESSION SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION.
AND IT IS YOUR FAULT THAT WE HAVE GONE ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE
YOU ARE THE ABSOLUTE WORST LOBBYIST I HAVE EVER SEEN.
WORSE THAN JACK ABRAMOFF. WORSE THAN ALL OF THEM.
BECAUSE YOU'RE NOBODY. NOBODY VOTED FOR YOU. YOU'RE THE WORST.
So please just shut up.
