lyrics

What's the matter Mike and Dave
They kiss and say "I do."
The fact they love each other
Oughta do.

And if they want to serve
As soldiers, sailors and marines
I'm thinking you should thank 'em
Not be rude.

I heard it on the news
The growers in Humboldt be blue
Cuz legalizing the outlaw life
Come true.

Patron paid politicians
They're about to change their sides
Tax the snot out of Grandma's pot
But won't get high.

Let's try to be strong
Strong for once
Joining hands with those
That aren't the same as us.

Let's try and be brave
Brave for once
Unafraid of those who
Aren't the same as us.

Burning oil gets rising seas
Gets myths that make us weak
You're a firm believer in the things
You can touch and can see.

You're RNC PAC stitll denies
What we all can see.
The dumb things Donald Trump tweets
Makes us weep.

Let's try to be strong...

Where in the hell did these
Strange ideas come from?
I think an elephant thunk 'em
The one that's in the room with you and me.
