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