lyrics

Here’s a little news about the GOP
The party of Lincoln who set the slaves free
But starting with Nixon’s southern strategy
The party of Lincoln is now the party of Lee

Voter suppression’s the new reality
Disqualify blacks and minorities
Its part of their playbook, its one of their keys
The party of Lincoln is now the party of Lee

They chase scared whites with no college degree
Cultivating fear and making it ugly
Demonizing immigrants from overseas
The party of Lincoln is now the party of Lee

You can say I’m wrong and that you disagree
But I can say this without hyperbole
The birther lie’s believed by half of your party
The party of Lincoln is now the party of Lee

Put this up on every marquee
Yell it from the hills like it’s a sacred decree
It’s a sad fact but it’s reality
The party of Lincoln is now the party of Lee


I will make you this one guarantee
When the republicans lose I will react with glee
Feel free to sing this along with me
The party of Lincoln is now the party of Lee
