G                      D
Hey Ronnie Reagan, I'm black and I'm pagan,

    A                        D
I'm gay and I'm left and I'm free.

      G                  D
I'm a non-fundamentalist environmentalist,

A                   D
Please don't bother me.
[Verse]
          D
You're so cool, playing poker with death as the joker,

       A                        D
You've nerve, but you don't reassure us.

           D
With those paranoid vistas of mad Sandanistas,

        A                    D
Are you really defending Honduras?

       G                            D
We can dig shelter holes when we've bartered our souls,

     A                   D
For security then we can shovel.

          G                           D
While the myth of our dreams turns to nightmares, it seems,

         A                                D
From the White House straight back to the hovel.
[Chorus]
G                      D
Hey Ronnie Reagan, I'm black and I'm pagan,

    A                        D
I'm gay and I'm left and I'm free.

      G                  D
I'm a non-fundamentalist environmentalist,

A                   D
Please don't bother me.
[Verse]
          D
You'll be wearing the green down at Ballyporeen,

    A                  D
The town of the little potato.

         D
Put your arms around Garret and dangle your carrot,

           A                    D
But you'll never get me to join NATO .

     G                         D
Your dollars may beckon, but I think we should reckon,

    A                      D
The cost of accepting your gold.

      G                        D
If we join your alliance, what price our defiance,

       A                      D
What's left if our freedom is sold?
[Chorus]
G                      D
Hey Ronnie Reagan, I'm black and I'm pagan,

    A                        D
I'm gay and I'm left and I'm free.

      G                  D
I'm a non-fundamentalist environmentalist,

A                   D
Please don't bother me.
