If you see me hold my hand over my heart
|
Before I start the Pledge of Allegiance
|
There's a reason
|
It's to honor those who died
|
|
And if you see me close my eyes and bow my head
|
Before I break bread with my family
|
It ain't a habit, it's important
|
It's my right
|
|
I work half the year for me
|
The other half for Uncle Sam
|
While he's bailin' out those sinkin' ships
|
And drownin' the little man
|
|
I watch the news and have to wonder
|
If this country's goin' crazy
|
Talkin' 'bout how much they love it here
|
But how they want to rearrange it
|
|
I'm just your Average Joe
|
And that makes me smart enough to know
|
There's a bunch of us out here
|
That feel the same
|
|
Wanna keep our God, our freedom
|
A little money in the bank
|
|
Y'all can keep the change
|
|
Now the fat cats on the hill actin' so brilliant
|
Ain't smart enough to notice
|
That we're angry
|
And that America's in trouble
|
|
If they don't wise-up and stop
|
Bustin' out the blocks that were laid
|
As a foundation, well, our nation
|
Could wake up in a pile of ruble
|
|
They say we're makin' progress
|
But it's a big old shame to me
|
Common sense ain't near as common
|
As it used to be
|
|
I watch the news and have to wonder
|
If this country's goin' crazy
|
Talkin' 'bout how much they love it here
|
But how they want to rearrange it
|
|
Well, I'm just your Average Joe
|
And that makes me smart enough to know
|
There's a bunch of us out here
|
That feel the same
|
|
Wanna keep our God, our freedom
|
A little money in the bank
|
|
Y'all can keep the change
|
|
I bet our grandpas are gettin' dizzy
|
Down there in their graves
|
Rollin' over and over
|
Over what's goin' on these days
|
|
I watch the news and have to wonder
|
If this country's goin' crazy
|
Talkin' 'bout how much they love it here
|
But how they want to rearrange it
|
|
I'm just your Average Joe
|
And that makes me smart enough to know
|
There's a bunch of us out here
|
That feel the same
|
|
Gonna keep our God, our freedom
|
A little money in the bank
|
|
Y'all can keep the change
|
|
Just keep the change
|
Y'all can keep the change
|

Keep The Change
