lyrics

The Strength Of Diversity
(Don’t Marry Your Cousin)
 
One by one they came
To exercise,
Their constitutional right
 
The grey-haired student,
The long-haired priest,
The Wall Street poet,
The stripper psychologist,
 
The abortion doctor,
The homeless realtor,
The cannabis farmer,
The septic plumber,
 
The subway opera singer,
The running back ballet dancer,
The taxi driver with a master’s,
The firefighter with high heels,
 
The introverted comedian,
The actor turned politician,
The tattooed attorney,
The housewife from New Jersey,
 
If Martha Stewart
And Snoop Dogg 
Can come together,
Then so can we

  Supreme court packing,
Maps redrawn for electoral votes,
Two parties voting the party line,
That’s not what the founding fathers had in mind,
 
No more corporate lobbyists,
No more super PACs,
Bring back liberal Republicans,
And conservative Democrats,

Vote.
Bread and circuses, Nay,
Vote.
Democracy, Yea
