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 |
