Uncle Son - The Kinks

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
