Vic Chesnutt - Cobbham Blues lyrics

You’re a hypocrite you a hypocrite
Sadly, dramatically a hypocrite

You’re a hypocrite you a hypocrite
A typical, liberal hypocrite

You spearhead the zoning
Fight against developers
But then when it comes down
To your very own backyard

Well then development is just what
You go and do
Well how could I NOT have a problem with you

You’re a hypocrite you a hypocrite
Sadly, dramatically a hypocrite

You’re a hypocrite you a hypocrite
Typical, liberal hypocrite

Your Volvo bumper sticker is green
Yeah, I know the kinda green you mean

In your neighborhood newsletter
You rail against the speculators
When you yourself are in
Neighboring hoods speculating

Yes, you are yes, you are
Yes, you are

And that
Makes you
A hypocrite

You a hypocrite you a hypocrite
You an ugly, fugly hypocrite

You’re a hypocrite you a hypocrite
Typical, liberal hypocrite

Yeah, every local ballot you campaign
Against the Chamber of Commerce
But then when it comes down to
Your very own personal purse
Well, even big Dick Cheney would approve
Of the way that you make your assets move
Of the way that you make your assets move
Yeah
