GD
Hey Ronnie Reagan, I'm black and I'm pagan,
AD
I'm gay and I'm left and I'm free.
GD
I'm a non-fundamentalist environmentalist,
AD
Please don't bother me.
[Verse]
D
You're so cool, playing poker with death as the joker,
AD
You've nerve, but you don't reassure us.
D
With those paranoid vistas of mad Sandanistas,
AD
Are you really defending Honduras?
GD
We can dig shelter holes when we've bartered our souls,
AD
For security then we can shovel.
GD
While the myth of our dreams turns to nightmares, it seems,
AD
From the White House straight back to the hovel.
[Chorus]
GD
Hey Ronnie Reagan, I'm black and I'm pagan,
AD
I'm gay and I'm left and I'm free.
GD
I'm a non-fundamentalist environmentalist,
AD
Please don't bother me.
[Verse]
D
You'll be wearing the green down at Ballyporeen,
AD
The town of the little potato.
D
Put your arms around Garret and dangle your carrot,
AD
But you'll never get me to join NATO .
GD
Your dollars may beckon, but I think we should reckon,
AD
The cost of accepting your gold.
GD
If we join your alliance, what price our defiance,
AD
What's left if our freedom is sold?
[Chorus]
GD
Hey Ronnie Reagan, I'm black and I'm pagan,
AD
I'm gay and I'm left and I'm free.
GD
I'm a non-fundamentalist environmentalist,
AD
Please don't bother me.
