Sometimes I wonder what it's like on the other side
When I see them on the cable news they're hard to defy
'Cause every hair is always right in its place
Miss America smiles on a pretty face
They're like a sirens call to the November race
Man, they're looking good.
I want to know what it's like to be holding hands
With a Republican girl
Would I be graduating finally from boy to man?
With a Republican girl
Who doesn't care that she's never looking smart
Cause she's always talking straight from the heart
Would I start to see things in one-dimensional terms?
With a Republican girl
They always seem to have a baby just strapped to the hip
And a little shot of collagen for boosting the lip
Second Amendment is always within the sights
Always confusing right with what is right
Though now and then they're black they're almost always white
That forbidden cute!
I want to know what it's like to be holding hands
With a republican girl
Would I start to preach about taking back this land?
With a Republican girl
Who looks to Jesus for getting her daily fix
She's speaking softly but is carrying a bigger stick
Would I start to over simplify this great big world?
With a republican.....
Must be a grand old party
To be a part of the grand old party
To re-imagine truth while smoking tea
No need for feeling sorry
For those living below the line of poverty
Just vote the GOP and you'll be standing free
Man they're looking so good
I want to know what it's like to be holding hands
With a Republican girl
Would I start to keep my head buried in the sand?
With a Republican girl
Would I start to be afraid of the boys in the band?
With a Republican girl
Would I be giving up spicy leaning more to bland?
With a Republican girl
Would I start to think there really is a master plan?
With a Republican girl (repeat)
I think I'll stick to the way that I see the world

Decent homage to what I consider one of the finest English (as in region in south of British Isles, rather than language or mistaken term for entire UK) Folk records of the Twentieth century. Shaggy Maggot

Some pop songs are easily forgettable... not so, this album. There's a lot more here than a smooth voice... but lyrics that go straight to the marrow of your soul. Really worth a listen... and the few bucks to own a copy for yourself or a true friend. "Sweet Tooth Johnny" Wells
The Shivas deliver a set of righteous three-chord wonders with a mean streak that will always be to the tastes of a certain doomy subset of ‘60s rock fans. Bandcamp Album of the Day Oct 29, 2019
