Intro:
Chorus:
This is where the party ends. I can t stand here listening
to you and your racist friend
I know politics bore you,but I feel like a hypocrite
talking to you - and your racist friend
Verse 1:
It was the loveliest party that I ve ever attended
if anything was broken I m sure it could be mended
my head can t tolerate this bobbing and pretending
listen to some bullet-head and the madness that he s saying
Chorus:
This is where the party ends I ll just sit here wondering
how you stand by your racist friend
I know politics bore you but I feel like a hypocrite
talking to you, you and your racist friend
Instrumental Bridge:

Chorus:
This is where the party ends
I can t sit here listening to you and your racist friend
I know politics bore you but I feel like a hypocrite
talking to you - and your racist friend
Verse 2:
Out from the kitchen to the bedroom to the hallway
your friend apologizes, he could see it my way
he let the contents of the bottle do the thinking
can t shake the devil s hand and say you re only kidding
Chorus:
This is where the party ends. I can t stand here listening
to you and your racist friend
I know politics bore you, but I feel like a hypocrite
talking to you - and your racist friend
FIN!
