lyrics

Mama was a mongoloid
Daddy was a deadbeat drunk
I was raised in the basement
In the filth of fifteen Punks
Daddy dumpstered some Legos
I built my fort from PBR cans
Mamma was a homeschool teacher
So I wasn't lied to by the man
The doctrine was creativity
They said do what you wanna do be who you wanna be
True sounds of liberty
Do what you wanna do be who you wanna be
No accountability
Do what you wanna do be who you wanna be
It's not our responsibility
To shepherd more sheep into this silly society
I escaped to college far from home
Where everybody was not so cool
I developed some ideas of my own
That I carried right out of school
Now I see through these welfare cheats
And the immigrants who stole the jobs
They're all in cahoots with the gays getting married
And all these other godless slobs
So I took your advice mom and dad,
I do what I wanna do be who I wanna be
I don't want anything you want for me
I wanna have money power and a life of luxury
Don't expect a hand out from me,
You can't park your trailer on the side of my property
I am your legacy , I rebelled just like you taught me
Now my heroes are Ronnie and Nancy
Not Nancy and Sid
Cause my punk rock parents
Raised a republican , raised a republic kid
Now my heroes are the grand ole party
Not some hippies living off the grid
Cause my punk rock parents
Raised a republican , raised a republican kid
