lyrics

Julia’s mom and dad are friends of mine from way back when

They came by for eggs the other day when they were here in

Nashville Tennessee USA Planet Earth Milky Way

And they said Julia’s learning drums and playing well

And Lizzie’s doing better with her health

They’re just another family trying to make it in this world

They’ve worked hard and they’ve raised two two kids

A little boy and girl

Until the boy came out as trans

Then it was in their hands to make things right

Now the state of Tennessee has placed a ban

on anything in public drag or trans

Hey Governor Judas Lee

What the hell is wrong with you

Hypocritically

All the things you say and do

Are to bow and scrape and gain

A little power in this world

You were born with a silver spoon in mouth

Another Little HItler in the South

Governor Judas Lee

I ran into my friend Cid just the other night

And the first thing that we did was hug each other tight

Cause the new law on the books is affecting Cidny too

Cid said I never thought I’d ever want to leave

But they don’t seem to want me in the state of Tennessee

He’s just another grandad trying to make it through this life

Four grandkids in Maine a sweet and loving wife

Cidny once was Cindy but they had to make that change

Meanwhile back in Tennessee

Same old hatred, same old bigotry

Hey Governor Judas Lee

What the hell is wrong with you

Hypocritically

All the things you say and do

Are to bow and scrape and gain

A little power in this world

You were born with a silver spoon in mouth

Another Little HItler in the South

Governor Judas Lee

If Lizzie is illegal

Then everyone’s illegal

If Cidny is unlawful

This bigotry is awful

Hey Governor Judas Lee

What the hell is wrong with you

Hypocritically

All the things you say and do

Are to bow and scrape and gain

A little power in this world

You were born with a silver spoon in mouth

To be another Little HItler in the South

Governor Judas Lee
