The Lyrics
The real historical record of the late President Ronald Raygun is obscured by non-stop fawning tributes from the media shills: hundreds of thousands of civilians killed in wars by right wing proxies that his administration supported, rollback of environmental programs, arming of Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein, arms for hostages deal with Iran to illegally fund the Contras, record budget deficits, etc.
He was no saint; not Ron Reagan.
He was no saint; not Ron Reagan.
Just 'cause he's gone, press excused his blunders.
Was no saint; not Ron Reagan.
The press now trumpets... his funeral show.
The press now trumpets... his funeral show.
Just 'cause he's gone, press excused his blunders.
Was no saint; not Ron Reagan.
Favored the rich; but screwed the poor.
Favored the rich, but screwed the poor.
Just 'cause he's gone, press excused his blunders.
Was no saint; not Ron Reagan.
And while he slept, his cronies robbed.
And while he slept, his cronies robbed
The S & L's; just read the numbers.
Was no saint; not Ron Reagan.
Supported thugs; right wing regimes.
Supported thugs; right wing regimes.
Just 'cause he's gone, press excused his blunders.
Was no saint; not Ron Reagan.
He traded arms; he armed Saddam.
He traded arms; he armed Saddam.
Just 'cause he's gone, press excused his blunders.
Was no saint; not Ron Reagan.
A band of crooks... were his regime.
A band of crooks were his regime.
Just 'cause he's gone, press excused his blunders.
Was no saint; not Ron Reagan.
He tried to gut... the EPA.
He tried to gut the EPA.
Just 'cause he's gone, press excused his blunders.
Was no saint; not Ron Reagan.
Wasted our funds... on SDI.
While toxic wastes rained from the sky.
Just 'cause he's gone, press excused his blunders.
Was no saint; not Ron Reagan.
People with AIDS, he just let die.
People with AIDS, he just let die.
Just 'cause he's gone, press excused his blunders.
Was no saint; not Ron Reagan.
No, we don't want... him on the dime.
Nor on Mount Rushmore any time.
Just 'cause he's gone, press excused his blunders.
Was no saint; not Ron Reagan.
He was no saint; not Ron Reagan.
He was no saint; not Ron Reagan.
Just 'cause he's gone, press excused his blunders.
Was no saint; not Ron Reagan.
He was no saint; not Ron Reagan.
Just 'cause he's gone, press excused his blunders.
Was no saint; not Ron Reagan.
The press now trumpets... his funeral show.

Favored the rich; but screwed the poor.
