River

I'm a liberal
That means I'm always generous
And I advocate progress
I like to rehabilitate
Criminals we have made
It's never too late.

Conservatives are snobish
And it's a fact they're all rich
They glorify Newt Gingrich
They like to starve little children
Ruin their education
They're taking over the nation

Moving the river, flowing together
Through the stormy water, moving the river

Chorus:
How long until the river opens.
How long until we spill in the ocean.

I'm a conservative
And I am not stuck in my ways
Change has to start in the family.
Rush Limbaugh, I'm a fan
Don't think guns need to be banned
Instil good morals in every human.

Liberals have a free heart
But they really aren't too smart
And they all shop at K-Mart.
They think crime comes from poverty
New laws will fix society
Can't put the blame on family.

Moving the river, flowing together
Through the stormy water, moving the river

Chorus:
How long until the river opens.
How long until we spill in the ocean.

No matter how much
Society urks me
And the parties work me.
I'll love all humanity
Left and right and in between
It's my survival instinct.

Moving the river, flowing together
Through the stormy water, moving the river

Chorus:
How long until the river opens.
How long until we spill in the ocean.
