I've been a bad bad guy
I've been thoughtless to a billionaire's plan
and it's a sad sad world
When the people stop thinking just because they can
Don't you tell me to deny it
They've done wrong and they're gonna suffer for their sins
I've come to you cause I am sick of all your views
And I just don't know where I should begin

What you are is a good defense
To all those that are a liberal
Cause it's hard to be redeemed
With the ones I'm up against
Because they've all been bought by Karl Rove

Heaven help me for the way I am
I see all these evil deeds before you get them done
I know pollution brings the health issues at hand
But you keep living each day like the next will never come

Oh shun me, but don't tell me to deny it
You've gotta cleanse the air of all this smog
till it's good enough to breathe
We've got a lot to lose
and I'm begging hard and I'm begging you
Before it ends, let's work together instead...

What we need is a good defense
Cause they've demonized the liberals
And it's hard to be redeemed
In a world that's being dispensed
By sheer violence, death, disease, and drugs

When Bush leads the way
You know there's hell to pay
Given room to twist the law and bend the truth
We've gotta make a play
To let our freedom stay
So let's end these wicked ways
Now Cheney has to go

What he is, is a good defense
To all those that are a liberal
Cause it's hard to be redeemed
With the ones I'm up against
Because they've all been bought by Karl Rove

What we need is a good defense
Cause they've demonized the liberals
And it's hard to be redeemed
In a world that's being dispensed
By sheer violence, death, disease, and drugs
