Land of the free and the home of the brave For a man to make a living, sure gotta pay these days You gotta pay the pauper, you gotta pay the rent You gotta pay the Donkey and the Elephant Too many cooks in the kitchen, making rainbow stew All pot no chicken, giving me the red, white, and blues I've done so much for so little For way too long They think it's so damn simple To do anything yet nothing at all Got war on the tv, we got bad news in the papers Yeah they take whatever's ours and then they blame it on the neighbor We got people robbing Peter just to pay back Paul We got doubters and believers and they fooled us all Too many cooks in the kitchen, making rainbow stew All pot no chicken, giving me the red, white, and blues I've done so much for so little for way too long They think it's so damn simple to do anything yet nothing at all Too many cooks in the kitchen, making rainbow stew All pot no chicken, giving me the red, white, and blues I've done so much for so little for way too long They think it's so damn simple to do anything yet nothing at all YA
