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 a year for me, the other half for Uncle Sam
While he's bailing out those sinking ships and drowning the little man

I watch the news and have to wonder if this country's going crazy
Talking 'bout how much they love it here, but how they wanna 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

Now the fat cats on the hill acting so brilliant, ain't smart enough to notice
That we're angry and America's in trouble
If they don't wise up and stop busting out the blocks that were laid as a foundation
This nation could wake up in a pile of rubble
They say we're making progress, but it's a 'ol shame to me
That common sense ain't never as common as it used to be

I watch the news and have to wonder if this country's going crazy
Talking 'bout how much they love it here, but how they wanna 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
Gonna keep our God, our freedom, a little money in the bank
Y'all can keep the change

I'll bet our grandpas are getting dizzy down there in their grave
Rolling over and over, over what's going on these days

I watch the news and have to wonder if this country's going crazy
Talking 'bout how much they love it here, but how they wanna 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
Y'all can keep the change
Y'all can keep the change
