Patty, those were the days
We spelled Amerikkka with three K's
Grand-daughter of Citizen Kane
Was so confused they had to wash her brain

Fell in love with her high school teacher
Didn't know how the weeds had reached her
Worst thing she ever done, well:
She told a nun to go to hell

Kidnapped, or liberated?
She joined the class that her momma hated
A shotgun and a black beret
They made her queen of the SLA

From Xanadu to Symbionia
Crazy visions out in California
From Death Valley to Disneyland
You've got to shoot or buy your way to the Promise Land

Their leader was a man named Cin
Remind me which revolution we're in
Busting banks and breaking bones
Their landlord was Prophet Jones

Tanya of the new re-incarnation
Escape was never a consideration
Richard Nixon, here's mud in your eye
'Cause now she's wanted by the FBI

Then one day in the Outer Mission
The authorities had good luck fishin'
Brought her back to her Pappy
Brand-new tattoo re-read "Patty"

Re-arrested, re-converted
The rule of law was re-asserted
She lost her sister, but she found the Lord
Then she was married to her bodyguard

This story has a moral to tell
Mixing up roles in living hell
Are you the cook, are you the roast?
Not knowing is what hurts the most...
