Country Gentleman |
| Country gentleman walked a crooked mile |
| Got our money in his pocket |
| Did it all with a very handsome smile |
| Now, he’s livin' it up in a great big office |
| He ain’t a-gonna help no poor man |
| He ain’t a-goona help no poor man |
| He ain’t a-gonna help no poor man |
| He’s just gonna help his rich friends |
| He ain’t a-gonna help no women |
| He ain’t a-gonna help no children |
| He’s just gonna help his rich friends |
| Country gentleman, we see him on T.V., |
| Glad handin' folks and chattin' to the nation |
| We never knew what really to believe |
| Just word upon slogan with emotional connection |
| He ain’t a-gonna help no poor man |
| He ain’t a-gonna help no children |
| He ain’t a-gonna help no women |
| He’s just gonna help his rich friends |
| And in the papers all we’d ever read is |
| So and so big-shot signed his resignation |
| Now, country gentleman he wants us to believe |
| That he’s kind and honest with the best intentions |
| He ain’t a-gonna help no poor man |
| He ain’t a-gonna help no children |
| He ain’t a-gonna help no women |
| He’s just gonna help his rich friends |
| Country gentleman, now there’s a bird that flew |
| High above his nation, prayed on its weakness |
| Picked our bones and threw it in his stew |
| Thank God he went back to California |
