He was just a workin' man,
|
Simple rules and simple plans,
|
Fancy words he didn't understand,
|
He loved with his heart,
|
He worked with his hands.
|
|
Liberals dream of equal rights,
|
Conservatives live in a world gone by,
|
Socialists preach of a promised land,
|
But old Uncle Son was an ordinary man.
|
|
Bless you Uncle Son,
|
They won't forget you when the revolution comes.
|
|
Unionists tell you when to strike,
|
Generals tell you when to fight,
|
Preachers teach you wrong from right,
|
They'll feed you when you're born,
|
And use you all your life.
|
|
Bless you Uncle Son,
|
They won't forget you when the revolution comes.
