HARD HAT
Author(s): Jeremiah
Songbook: Aaron David Songbook
KeyWords: Christmas,

Spoke to a man the other day.
He didn't have much to say.
But he was sure to notice
My hair was getting curly.
A job or education I never had,
He said surely.

'Cause He was a hard-hat,
A right-wing flyin' hard-hat.
He was a hard-hat,
A clock-punchin' nine-to-five hard-hat.
He said, you better get a job,
Ya slob, or I don't care.

He said, "I pledge allegiance
To the flag of these here United States.
If you don't love this country,
You better flee [or "leave"]
'Cause when you're runnin' down my country,
You're walking on the fightin' side of me".

He was a hard-hat,
A right-wing flyin' hard-hat.
He was a hard-hat,
A church goin', flag wavin' hard-hat.
With liberty and justice for all
Who don't have long hair.

Freedom of speech!
Freedom of press!
But if you preach Jesus,
Then we'll oppress!

He's a hard-hat!
A right-wing flyin' hard-hat.
With liberty and justice for all
Who don't have long hair.

Freedom of press!
Freedom of speech,
As long as job and education
Is what you preach!

He's a hard-hat!
A clock-punchin' nine-to-five hard-hat.
He said, you better get a job,
Ya slob, or I don't care.

George Washington, number one,
Abraham Lincoln, number two,
Jesus Christ, number three.
We thought we'd slip Him in there too.
Sure, in God we trust,
It's written on the dollar bill.

Listen to that sound,
It's the sound of the factory.
That's my sweet honey,
She's callin' me.
Nine-to-five lovin'
Is worth livin' for.

One for your money!
Two for the show!
Three to get ready,
And four to go to work!
Go to work, ya jerk!
Workin' all day
In the factory.

He's a hard-hat!
A right-wing flyin' hard-hat!
[Get the mark, get the mark of the beast]
He's a hard-hat!
A flag-wavin' nine-to-five hard-hat!
With liberty and justice for all
Who don't have long hair.
