I never had a job on Wall Street. 

Never was a man of means. 

There's nothing social about social security. 

Never found no pork in my beans. 

I always did what my mama told me. 

Do so good and pay the band. 

I always did what my mama told me 

but I never did vote republican. 

I never did vote republican. 



And the stripes keep on waving 

and the stars always shine 

and it smells just like freedom 

in this land I call mine, 

in this land I call mine. 



I never never started nothing. 

I never never never ran. 

I never fought or hurt nobody, 

nobody I was bigger than. 

I always did what my mama told me. 

Do so good and pay that band. 

I always did what my mama told me 

but I never did vote republican. 

I never did vote republican. 



And the stripes keep on waving 

and the stars always shine 

and it smells just like freedom 

in this land I call mine, 

in this land I call mine.
