I used to lead a quiet life
In fact it was a bare existence
I passed out on many floors
I don't do that any moreHello my friends
Is everybody happy?Hey look me over, lend me an ear
I'm a conservative
I like the small black marks on my hand
I'm a conservativeI like the crazy girls that I screw
Hey, hey I know them all well
And when I run out of bread I laugh
All the way to the bankSometimes I pause for a drink
Conservatism ain't no easy jobI smile in the mornings
I live without a care
Nothing is denied me
And nothing ever hurtsI got bored so I'm making my millions
When you're conservative you get a better break
You're always on the right side
When you're conservativeYou walk with pride
Pride is on your side
(Pride pride pride is on our side)
(Oh boy, pride is on our side)I like my beer
I like my bread
I love my girl
I love my headI'm in the clear man
I'm in the clear
'Cause I'm a conservative
I'm a conservative
I really am, oh, yes l amAnd it could mean so much to me
If you would only be like me
Yes it could mean so much to meHey, look me over
Lend me an ear
I'm a conservative
