Lyrics

He was just a workin' man
Simple rules and simple plans
Fancy words he didn't understand
He loved with his heart
He worked with his hands
Liberals dream of equal rights
Conservatives live in a world gone by
Socialists preach of a promised land
But old Uncle Son was an ordinary man
Bless you Uncle Son
They won't forget you when the revolution comes
Unionists tell you when to strike
Generals tell you when to fight
Preachers teach you wrong from right
They'll feed you when you're born
And use you all your life
Bless you Uncle Son
They won't forget you when the revolution comes
