lirik lagu johnathan east – hey uncle sam
i got a job, but i’m still in debt
my neighbors livin’ off a welfare check
got a brand new cadillac parked right outside
i ain’t complaining about the way things are
but my piece of pie don’t go too far
i’m workin’ overtime, just tryin’ to survive
i still believe in the stars and stripes
milk and honey and them harley bikes
but don’t tell me about your new health plan
or needin’ money from a workin’ man.
(chorus)
i’m just a poor boy, straight out of the deep south
workin’ hard ain’t never had a hand out
i pay my dues so i can stay free
hey uncle sam, don’t forget about me
hey uncle sam, don’t forget about me.
lord knows i’m an honest guy
i pay my taxes and i always try
to do what i can, for the red, white and blue
but i watch my money going up in smoke
they take it all and they leave me broke
now tell me son, what’s a fella to do
if it ain’t one thing, well it’s another
the rich man wins and the poor man suffers
i keep it goin’, so i can get paid
i’m dixie born and american made.
(repeat chorus)
i play a custom made fender guitar
i wouldn’t be caught dead in a j-panese car
i drive a chevy z-71
a rebel flag sticker by my old shot gun.
(repeat chorus)
