And so the libertarian
Read Atlas Shrugged in high school.
It changed his life forever!
Better go hungry than to soak the government
It's only common sense. Don't A=A?
'Cause to a logical thinker
This world ain't so hard to figure.
It's a game of survival and if you're the winner
let the lion eat dinner
and the lambs can pray.

In a garage, in a basement,
He works all night, the libertarian
He's a cowboy, a modern lone ranger, a smart guy
Yeah he's the libertarian
He ain't heartless. He cares about children,
So don't tread on the libertarian man!

Built an elaborate train set
He tinkers with it for hours!
Plasticine hobos stay warm by a fire.
They can only admire what a great man can be!
Got a ham radio station,
A generator for power.
They can't silence him. Tonight at 9 pm,
He'll shout at the world from his property!

Alone in a bedroom, he bangs on a drumset.
He keeps great time--he's the libertarian!
Cuban cigars you wonder how he gets to buy--
Well, baby, he's the libertarian!
He's a hunter, yeah. He eats what he kills, yeah!
So don't tread on the libertarian man.

And don't de-humanize him.
Have I mischaracterized him?
They say if you can get close, you've never had a better friend.
I see him throwing his hands up--
He should have gone into stand-up.
He's dry, irreverent and cool,
And I need a dose now and again.

He says what he's thinking, so you gotta admire
A straight-shooter like the libertarian.
He follows his passion, yeah, a lover and fighter
Don't mess with the libertarian!
In a garage, in a basement, he works all night
He's the libertarian
He's a cowboy, a modern lone ranger, a tough guy,
Yeah he's the libertarian
Self-reliant, but he's there when you need him,
So don't tread on the libertarian man!
Not the government, not in this life!
You best not tread on the libertarian man!
