[Verse 1]
Big fat fuck from North Carolina state
He's a worthless piece of shit, he's a paragon of hate
He's a redneck, fuck-face, brain-dead waste of space
Two-bit, two-timing, motherfucking pool of slime
Against gay rights, and funding for the arts
Tried to cancel PBS and tear Big Bird apart
Cut AIDS funding, corporate welfare for the rich
He's a shameless money grubber, he's a two dollar bitch
[Chorus]
Why won't Jesse Helms just hurry up and die?
[Verse 2]
Fundamentalist, fuckwad, dickless prick
He's ugly as a morlock, dumb as a brick
He's a sack of shit, hypocrite, single-minded, fat bigot
Punk bitch, ignorant, ass-munch sycophant
Lifelong friend of the deadly cancer sticks
Thinks AIDS is the fault of the people it inflicts
Racist fuck who supports segregation
Foe of the people, friend of the corporation
[Chorus]
[Breakdown]
Uh
Damn
Get up, get up!
[Chorus]
[Trash Talk]
Yo Jesse, you dumb-ass, racist, cracker motherfucker! Why the fuck won't you just hurry up and die? And take that punk-bitch Strom Thurmond with you!
