about

from Buttercup's "Battle of Flowers" album on Bedlamb/Palo Santo Records

lyrics

a tiny boy got pushed
the bully gave him hell
the bully ripped his shirt
but this story’s got revenge
it’s got justice
it’s got something even sweeter

this tiny boy grew to take on bullies in washington
this tiny boy grew to be henry b. gonzalez

henry b. gonzalez

he stood on the congress floor
he’d fillibuster or
he’d try to block a racist bill
he would desegregate
he was so sick of it
he had had his fill

for twenty two hours he read the bible
for twenty two hours he read the san antonio phone book

henry b. gonzalez

when did liberal become a bad word?
when did liberal become a curse?
on henry b.’s tombstone it says liberal
it says fighter democrat soul
henry b. gonzalez
