A Family Values Man

by ISHMAEL REED

I want to be a right wing 
family values type of man 
frequent all the porno and 
smut shops that I can 
Lecture the ghettos about 
their promiscuity 
While giving some hot babe 
some hootchie coochie 
I want to be a right wing 
family values type of man 

I want to be a right wing 
family values type of man 
preach that the drug laws 
shouldn't bend 
But you'd find me in Georgetown 
Snorting coke 
Any weekend 
I want to be a right wing 
family values type of man 

I want to be a right wing 
family values type of man 
Insist that low street crimes 
be brought to the docket 
While easing a little soft money 
Into my expensive suit pocket 
I want to be a right wing 
family values type of man 

I want to be a right wing 
family values type of man 
You'd see me in campaign ads 
with my wife dog and child 
But when partying with the 
boys, I'd get a little wild 
Have strippers and drag 
queens coming out the ears 
after doing more than a half- 
dozen beers, 
But tomorrow I'm in Congress 
raising moral sand 
Because I'd be a right wing 
family values type of man
