You’ll never see me on a Harley
No, me feet won’t touch the ground.
Never rode across the desert
Or blasted boldly through my town.
Never sat tall in the saddle,
Never took an axe to a tree
Never forged currents with a paddle
Nor built a castle for m’ family.
Chorus
Well, I ain’t got no horse or no motorbike
Ain’t got no handle like Rip or Spike
I’ll never be no stud like on TV
‘Cause all I want is my son to be free
No, I’ll never be no man like on TV
‘Cause I just want my son to live free.
Never built a bridge at my work
Never built a tower to last all time
Never had no heavy tool belt
Never done no hard time.
Never had a pick-up built for hauling
Never drove a semi all night long
Never once played on a rock group
Never wrote a decent song
Bridge
These figures they loom large.
They cast a shadow tall.
Who are these manly men,
Who make me feel so small?
The puppet-masters control
Every image that I see
Their ads are everywhere
They overwhelm and swallow me.
Never been drafted for no army
Never shot an arrow or a gun
Never hit a person with my hand
My impulse is just to run.
Never seen a war that worth warrin’
Never seen a fight without a loss
Never seen a war that had winner
Never a cause to justify that cost
