I didn’t fare so well out in the school yard,
so it goes, with these tender hearts,
in the company of those who would tear them apart.
I’m a Snowflake,
I’m a Lib-tard,
Sometimes I worry late at night and I pray hard,
that your daughters, and your granddaughters, too,
can run faster than those men,
who cast their vote with you.
I’m a Snowflake,
I’m a Lib-tard,
I am creative, I’m a wild card,
and I’m sitting here, in the nursing home,
singing songs for your mother so she isn’t all alone.
I’m a Snowflake,
I’m a Lib-tard,
I’ll my best to serve the others while I’m standing guard,
so it goes, with these tender hearts,
in the company of those who would tear them apart.
in the company of those who would tear us apart.
