The day that Bella Abzug died I listened to the news
Nike stock was dropping sharply, she would have been amused
Later on that day I met a guy who tried to explain to me,
The true meaning of modern irony
The day that Bella Abzug died
The day that Bella Abzug died I got into a fight
It was more like a discussion with a guy who always thought that he was right
He tried to talk to me about changing things from the inside
Corporations only pay you when you're on their side
The day that Bella Abzug died
The day that Bella Abzug died I got into a talk
WIth a guy who tried to lecture me about one hundred years of punk rock
He said it's all appropriated and there's nothing new
I said a beg to differ and that's Ms Punk Rock to you
The day that Bella Abzug died
The day that Bella Abzug died I thought about the ERA
Thought abut the Womens Strike For Peace
And all that she has done for us and I'll try to do her right
Keep up this discussion, keep up the fight
And the guy who tried to tried to talk to me about changing things from the inside,
Corporations line his pockets, hide his punk rock past deep inside
The day that Bella Abzug died
The day that Bella Abzug died
