lyrics

Son one wants a gun, to shoot, kill, have fun
He dreams of saving queens while fighting evil fiends.
His brother is another, some say like his mother
Rather read Socrates than commit atrocities.
Sis is a pris, a parents brainy gift,
Astronaut, moonshot, doctor, lawyer, scientist.
Cuz never was any careful what he does
Breakin laws, sellin drugs, locked up by the fuzz.
Your platform, your pushy views: family values, family values
Explain to me cuz im confused, what the fuck are family values?
Step-sis, full of tricks, always gets her wish
Stealin candy from a baby, two-timing young lady.
Step-bro’s a young pro, goin with the cash flow
Time shares, investments loans, “just call me Dow Jones.”
Aunt don’t flaunt, lives up in Vermont
Humble as a nun, paintin pictures, smokin pot
Pa was abused, beaten and bruised
So he sips on his booze while he sings the blues
Your platform, your pushy views: family values family values
Tell me, cuz im confused, what the fuck are family values?
*They will tell you that they are fighting in defense of the family. They will tell you that without their noble, moral cause this country will descend into hedonism, barbarism, chaos.
They will speak of family values whenever they can, as if they define what those are.
Well, I don’t know about you, but I got relatives that don’t share a square inch of sense of what is right and wrong. And I got my own values.
They will tell you that the family is under threat. They will tell you that there is an attack on your family from the gays, the muslims, the feminists, the liberals, Kenyans in the white house!
They claim to be pro-life, unless they need bodies for their wars. They claim to represent the interests of women, to be pregnant with bare feet on the kitchen floor. They claim to be humble, but they are obsessed with your sex-life. Their “values” are a contradiction at every level.
Do not let them use your family as justification for their bigoted crusade.*
Your platform, your pushy views: family values, family values.
I don’t believe you, I won’t be used. I reject you, I refuse.
