[Verse 1:] 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 [Chorus:] And the stripes keep on waving And the stars always shine And it smells just like freedom In this land I call mine[x2] [Verse 2:] 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 [Chorus]
