Am E7 Am E7
Every time we think about same-sex marriage
Am E7 Am E7
It makes us sick to our guts

Am E7
Defenders of marriage
Am E7
In three-button suits
Am E7 F E7
We'll raise our double standard and see who salutes

[Bridge]
Am E Am
One summer evening when my woman was doing laundry
E Am
I shared a six-pack with an old John Bircher
F E
And oh so wisely he imparted an ancient quandary, to ponder
E N.C. E N.C. Am
He said, "It's nature versus legislature."

[Spoken] Are people born gay, or do they turn gay just to piss off Dick Armey?

[Outro]
Am E7
We're an army of dicks
Am E7
With a militant stance
Am F C E
Let's get the government out of our lives and into our pants
Am E7
Defenders of marriage
Am G F E7
Defending the institution against people who want to get married
Am
And have their insurance carried
E7
And be beneficiary'd
Am E7 Am E7 Am
And be next to the ones they love when they are buried
