[Verse 1]

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


[Verse 2]

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


[Chorus]

Bless you Uncle Son

They won't forget you when the revolution comes


[Verse 3]

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


[Chorus]

Bless you Uncle Son

They won't forget you when the revolution comes
