Is there a clavern in your town?
In your town!
If not, then why not have us down?
Have us [Gm] down!
[C] You'll never recognize us, [F] there's a smile [D#] upon our face.
[C] We're changing [A] all our dirty [D] sheets and cleaning up [G] the place.
[C] Yep, since we [D] got a lawyer [F] and a public [F#m] relations man.
We're your friendly liberal neighborhood Ku [C] Klux Klan.
Yes, we're [F] your friendly [F#] liberal neighborhood Ku [C] Klux Klan.
Ever since we got [A] that lawyer and [D] that public relations man.
[C] Course we didn't shoot one [Gm] reporter, [F] but he was just [D#] unseen.
[C] And you can't call us no filthy names.
[G] Once it was Anglo, Sax, [C] and me.
Allemand left, Allemand right.
[Gm] The ladies all [B] jittery as we eat tonight.
[C] Cause the Klans collected so much cash [Gm] that now by gum we're rich white trash.
[C] Now I've heard it said our leadership's [F] not qualified [F#m] to lead.
[C] Well I'm telling you [A] that just ain't true, why three of them [G] can read.
[C] Came to brandy, dissolved the dragon.
Now [F] some folks think [D] he's bad.
But he [C] should meet his [A] sweet old mother.
[D] And her brother, [G] who's [C] his dad.
[F] Yes, they're your friendly [D] liberal neighborhood [C] Ku Klux Klan.
And he's gonna [A] run for governor [D] soon as he's out [G] of the can.
[C] They're all from fine old [F] families, the pride of [F#] all these hills.
[C] Yet seven [A] generations at the same [C] illegal stills.
Had a little rally the other [G] night, shot uptown in a fury.
[B] Lutz [F] arrested, paws on [G] trial, and the rest of [A] us are on the jury.
[C] Now we've heard them call us [F] deadbeats, and we'd like to [F#] say we're not.
[C] We'll all [A] stand on our record, [D] and that's one thing [G] we've all got.
[C] And we only have that arsenal [F] so that you won't [F#] raise no fuss.
[C] And if you don't like [A] that, then call the [D] cops, cause chances [C] are they're us.
Yes, we're your friendly [F#] liberal neighborhood [C] Ku Klux Klan.
But somehow [D] we went from the fire to the frying pan.
[C] We never learned to hold a job, and we never [F#] learned to write.
[G] But boy, we [A] sure have learned the [D] ropes, cause we use them [C] every night.
Now when Congress [F] calls you, don't get [Gm] sucked.
Just start confessing and pass the buck.
[C] The Klags blame the [F] Klaks.
The Klaks blame the [C#] Klingle.
The Klingle blames the [E] Grand Imperial Eagle.
[C] The Eagle blames the [F#] Wizard.
The Wizard blames the [G] Dragon.
And the Dragon takes the blame, but he's [C] just bragging.
Now we're out to show the Congress [F] that we're oh so [F#] nice and neat.
[C] Why we never [A] even take a fit, [D] cause we drank that all [G] last week.
[C] And you'll never hear us shoot.
[F] Or hang in [D] people's minds.
[C] Cause we're learning to [A] respect the law [D] and have a [C] nallibi.
Oh, come, come, come.
Come to the church in the wild.
[G] Oh, come to the church in [C] the wild.
Lord forgive them what they see.
[F] [F]
We would go to [C] church and pray for them.
Except we blew it up [C] last week.
Yes, we're your friendly [F#] liberal neighborhood P [C]-plus clan.
And we sure do thank [A] that lawyer and [D] that public relations [G] man.
So [C] we're sorry that we hung [Gm] them.
But [F] they did have [F#] quite a [D#] tan.
[C] And it sure [D#] confused your friendly [C] liberal [E] misunderstood.
Your friendly [G] neighborhood planner [C] says,
What's [A] wrong with the hood?
[D] Your friendly [G] liberal neighborhood coup-plus.
Ready to padlock and head for the hills.
