lyrics

Grand Old Party Line (words and music by Abel Ashes)

Don't never change your heart
Hold on to your worstest parts
Stay the same way that you start
But don't never change your heart

Don't never change your head
Stay the same way 'til yer dead
Do just like yer daddy said
And don't never change your head

Don't never change your mind
No matter what facts you find
Toe the Grand Old Party line
And don't never change your mind

Gotta keep faith and tradition alive
Or future innovation's gonna eat us alive
Nature over nurture like bees in a hive
With the class and the caste so the wealthy can thrive

Gotta keep faith and tradition alive
Or future innovation's gonna eat us alive
Nature over nurture like bees in a hive
With the class and the caste so the wealthy can thrive

So whatever you do...

Don't never change your heart
Hold on to your worstest parts
Stay the same way that you start
But don't never change your heart

Don't never change your head
Stay the same way 'til yer dead
Do just like yer daddy said
And don't never change your head

Don't never change your mind
No matter what facts you find
Toe the Grand Old Party line
And don't never change your mind
