Uncle Sam’s a [bad word]  I’m up to my neck 
In debt I can’t afford no [bad word] I need a push, give me a lift
Just enough to get me going 
No I ain’t talking getting rich
I need to slow down the dog
Gotta get some ground
Gotta get away from the hound

Flip me over like a stack
Help me up off my path
Get him off my back
I need a helping hand
From a brother man
Can you understand?

They’re telling me what I need
Trying [bad word] my (list?)
All I need is a little bit of space
pretty face just a little place

All I need is all that I have
I don’t need another mama and a dad
All I need is all that I have
I don’t need another mama and a dad
I don’t need another mom and dad

Uncle Sam’s a [bad word]  I’m up to my neck 
In debt, I can’t afford this [bad word] Give me a push I need a lift
Just to get me going 
I ain’t talking getting rich

Flip me over like a stack
Help me up off my path
Get him off my back
I need a helping hand
From a brother man
Can you understand?

Flip me over like a stack
Help me up off my path
Get him off my back
I need a helping hand
From a brother man
Don’t need Uncle Sam

I don’t need another mom and dad
