"I Never Thought We'd Live To See The Day"
Mama Sits With Her Two Kids Teaching Them Their ABC's
She Don't Trust Their Education To The School Right Down The Street
She's Afraid Of The Violence And Afraid Of What They'll Learn
They Won't Hang The Ten Commandments We All Should Be Concerned
I Never Thought We'd Live To See The Day
At Least Not Here In These United States
I'll Bet Washington And Jefferson Are Spinning In Their Graves
(And) I Never Thought We'd Live To See The Day
(Inst.)
Until Now Our Marriage Vows Meant A Woman And A Man
We Believed Our Borders We're A Place To Make A Stand
We Shed Our Blood For Freedom And We Stood Up For Our Flag
Today They Burn Old Glory Like It's A Common Rag
(Repeat Chorus)
(Modulate)
My dad sat glued to the evenin' news believing what he heard
He's raised on Walter Cronkite and he took him at his word
Now NBC, NPR, CBS and ABC
Are all taken with a grain of salt not trusted or believed...And
I Never Thought We'd Live To See The Day
At Least Not Here In These United States
I'll Bet Washington And Jefferson Are Spinning In Their Graves
(And) I Never Thought We'd Live To See The Day
TAG: No I never thought we'd live to see the day
