Gimme a velvet painting
of Elvis on the Cross
givve a spade with a lantern
to sit on my front yard
i work hard in the day to pay my taxes
to feed the masses who don't do nothin
at night i make sure they stay in their places
burning down bridges in long family robes
as pure as our klan
i'm a man, just ask my woman or the queer
i booted off the Number Three Dam
gimme my freedom, my God given right
and gimme a boy to raise
just like my old man raised
me.
