[Verse]
EOn my way in here tonight
I bruised my G#mnose hugging a trAee.
I was lF#mate ‘cause I had to stop by on my way in San QuDmaj7entin
to set a criminal freEe.
G#mAnd I ran out on seven-grain bee-pollen macrobiotic organic sustainable medical marijG#uana
for my jerky kAnee.
Do you Eknow F#mhow hard G#mit is
to be a libF#meral?
Well, dBo ya?
EI had to learn to speak French, Spanish, Hindi, and dG#molphin
just so I could Arelate.
I’m exF#mhausted from taxing and spending,
and controlling the media, and hiding my agenda,
and ruling San FDmaj7rancisco as a separatist nation-sEtate.
And in G#myoga today, I got bent out of shape
‘cause the guy doing bow-pulling pulls in front of me was inG#tolerant
which I haAte!
Do you Eknow F#mhow hard G#mit is
to be a libF#meral?
Well, dBo ya?
GConstantly feeding the hungry
and bleeding my heCart
and exceeding my budget
and needing appFmaj7roval
and reading The Nation
and leading a sing-A#along — EVDERYBODY!
(No wait, that was just an impulse. Sorry.)
D   A
EI was shootin’ hoops with some brothas
when I sprained my ba-donkG#ma-donk
and ya know that ain’t chiAll.
I F#msaved an endangered snail-darter
from being eaten by an endangered spotted owl
wF#mhich I saved from being eaten by an endangered snow-leopard
which I saved from being shot by a poaDmaj7cher
who I had to kEill — (with kindness. It took a while.)
G#mAnd I hit a speed bump and I spilled my chi-latte all over the hemp-covered seats of my Prius
and the speed-bump
turned out to be a homeless Native American
sF#mo I apologized and gave him some land,
I stomped out his cigarette and took away his gun and shot myself in the nuts on my way to
my frivolous lawsuit for sexual harassment where I was suing myself ‘cause I mastuG#rbated — against my wAill!
Do you Eknow F#mhow hG#mard it is
to be F#mme?
Do you Eknow F#mhow hG#mard it is
jusF#mt to be a knAee-jeBrk liberal?
What I wouldn’F#mt give
to be a ciArcle-jerk BconservativeE!
