Conservative

from 2014-16 by Dominique Leone

lyrics

What does it mean to be conservative?
Does it mean to hold back,
When you really ought to give?
To be conservative, do we the sing old songs?
I still love Randy Newman, sing the old songs.

Does it mean to love your mother, but hate the thought of new girls doing new things?
Does it mean to love your bother unless he wins the lottery?

What does it mean to be conservative?
Do I have to love guns and making lots of money now?
To be conservative...

Do I have to pretend that labs don't exist, and
People haven't made a ship that's up and gone to the moon?
Gone to the moon!

Hold onto the truth.
Hold onto the truth.
Hold onto the truth.

What does it mean to be conservative?
Does it mean that I cry hearing grandma's favorite song?
To be conservative, do I have to hold back?
(Singing Randy Newman…)
Do I have to hold on?
(Father, Mother, God…)
Can I sing the old songs now?
