PHIL DONAHUE

Phil Donahue your son’s a racist
And I bet you didn’t even know it
You're a liberal everybody loves
But you spawned an asshole 

Stevie Wonder has estranged kids
And Joni Mitchell has a daughter
Who’s been in jail and hooked on heroin
And tried to steal her money

When you don’t live up to your mom and dad that’s so sad, that’s so sad
When you don’t live up to your mom and dad that’s so sad

Martin Sheen is an activist
Who played POTUS on Sorkin's West Wing
Then there's Charlie, his abusive son
To sully his good name

When you don’t live up to your mom and dad that’s so sad, that’s so sad
When you don’t live up to your mom and dad that’s so sad

Phil Donahue your son’s a racist
And I bet you didn’t even know it

When you don’t live up to your mom and dad that’s so sad, that’s so sad
When you don’t live up to your mom and dad that’s so sad
