Folk Lore |
Women sewed the stars and stripes |
And the men, they fought the wars |
The children learned arithmetic |
And everyone was poor |
Young man was the hero of the day |
Long long hours, short short pay |
Lesson I learned in a history book, now |
It’s not what they taught me |
Folk lore, folk lore, folk lore |
Your mama never told you |
Now the women scream for equal rights |
Their man wants to have an affair |
Children learn to hate the world |
And no one seems to care |
Lesson I learned in a history book, now |
It’s not what they taught me |
Folk lore, folk lore, folk lore |
Your mama never told you that |
Some things never change |
Some things stay the same |
Some things rearranged |
One thing I know for sure, your heroes always die |
