The Kinks
Uncle Son
[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
