[Verse 1]
You call yourself a Christian
I think that you're a hypocrite
You say you are a patriot
I think that you're a crock of shit
And listen now, the gasoline
I drink it every day
But it's getting very pricey
And who is going to pay
[Chorus]
How come you're so wrong?
My sweet neo con, yeah
[Verse 2]
It's liberty for all
'Cause democracy's our style
Unless you are against us

If you're really so astute
You should invest in Brown & Root, yeah
[Chorus]
How come you're so wrong?
My sweet neo con
If you turn out right

[Harmonica Solo]
[Verse 3]
It's getting very scary
Yes, I'm frightened out of my wits

We're going it alone
[Chorus]
How come you're so wrong?
My sweet neo con
Where's the money gone
In the Pentagon?
[Outro]
Yeah, well well
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, neo con
