lyrics

You walk around like a proud American
Wave your flag every chance you can
You talk about the way things ought to be
But you don't participate in democracy

You walk around like a proud American
But you don't vote
Ain't no joke
You don't vote like me

You don't participate it's a drag
You must earn your right to waive this flag
When the vote comes around I hear the pundints say
You forgot to show up on election day

You walk around like a proud American
But you don't vote
Ain't no joke
You don't vote like me

Now I'm not trying to say
That I'm better than you
But I do the one thing
America wants me to

If by and for the people
Is the way it should be
Without your vote
It's hypocrisy

You walk around like a proud American
But you don't vote
Ain't no joke
You don't vote like me
