SINGER: They Might Be Giants

SONG:Your Racist Friend

This is where the party ends
i can't stand here listening to you
and your racist friend
i know politics bore you
but i feel like a hypocrite talking to you
and your racist friend
It was the loveliest party that i've ever attended
if anything was broken i'm sure it could be mended
my head can't tolerate this bobbing and pretending
listen to some bullet-head and the madness that he's saying
This is where the party ends
i'll just sit here wondering how you
can stand by your racist friend
i know politics bore you
but i feel like a hypocrite talking to you
you and your racist friend
This is where the party ends
i can't stand here listening to you
and your racist friend
i know politics bore you
but i feel like a hypocrite talking to you
and your racist friend
Out from the kitchen to the bedroom to the hallway
your friend apologizes, he could see it my way
he let the contents of the bottle do the thinking
can't shake the devil's hand and say you're only kidding
This is where the party ends
i can't stand here listening to you
and your racist friend
i know politics bore you
but i feel like a hypocrite talking to you
and your racist friend

This is where the party ends
i can't stand here wondering how you
can stand by your racist friend
this is where the party ends
i can't stand here wondering how you
can stand by your racist friend
It was the loveliest party
that i've ever attended
if anything got broken
i'm sure it could be mended
but my head can't stand this bobbin' and pretendin'
tolerate some bullethead and the bullshit that he's sayin'
This is where the party ends
i can't stand here listening to your
your racist friend
this is where the party ends
i'll just sit here wondering how you
can stand by your racist friend
It was the loveliest party
that i've ever attended
if anything got broken
i'm sure it could be mended
my head can't stand this bobbin', sittin' and pretendin'
tolerate some bullethead and the bullshit that he's sayin'
This is where the party ends
i can't stand here listening to your
your racist friend
this is where the party ends
i'll just sit here wondering how you
can stand by your racist friend
This is where the party ends
i can't stand here listening to your
your racist friend
this is where the party ends
i'll just sit here wondering how you
can stand by your racist friend
This is where the party ends
