Grandpa was a liberal, so was Johnny Cash
Don't you cross this picket line, blue-collar Democrats
Neither went to college, but they'd take you to school
Grandpa, he wore Carhartt before hipsters made it cool
He knew the devil wears a suit and tie
Can't hold a level to save his damn life
Walking around the job site like, "Hey, ain't this gig a blast?"
Grandpa was a liberal
And he would've kicked your ass
Grandpa was a liberal
And so was JFK
Fighting Irish, class-inspiring
Home on Labor Day
And they both knew the Russians
Were surely not our friends
But these days all these politicians
Sit there shaking hands
They knew the devil wears a suit and tie
Can't hold a level to save his damn life
Walking around the job site like, "Hey, ain't this gig a blast?"
Grandpa was a liberal
And he would've kicked your ass
Grandpa was a liberal, but his hair wasn't blue
He wasn't covered head to toe in piercings and tattoos
But if you are a liberal
And these things sound like you
Grandpa wouldn't give a shit
He'd still be voting blue
Cause he knew the devil wears a suit and tie
Can't hold a level to save his damn life
Walking around the job site like, "Hey, ain't this gig a blast?"
Grandpa was a liberal
And he would've kicked your ass
He knew the devil wears a suit and tie
Can't hold a level to save his damn life
Walking around the White House like, "Hey, ain't this gig a blast?"
Grandpa was a liberal and he would've kicked your ass
