The boys and girls are standing in line
All for a shot at the big time
This may be your one and only shot
This town's got talent. Let's see what you got
They don't care where you've been
They don't care where you're going
As long as you got what it takes to keep the cashbox growing
They don't care what's in your heart
so don't tell them what you think...
Go ahead bitch
Just shut up and sing
Pat and Cooley kinda lean to the left
Rednecks tell them keep it to yourself
Meanwhile they call a yankee their Uncle Ted
Ban all the records, boycott the band
The boys from Alabama, they know where they've been
They ain't out to make no bank, ain't trying to lose no friends
And they sure as Hell ain't looking to be the next big thing
And you can bet your ass they won't shut up & sing
We've had violence in the streets, fought useless wars
Had politicians selling like a two dollar whore
Entire networks paid to tell us what to think
We've had good men expressing a different view
Ain't got all the answers but they're seeking the truth
Their song's of love allow us to be free
Ain't you glad Lennon didn't shut up & sing?
Ain't you glad Dylan didn't shut up & sing?
Ain't you glad Woody Guthrie didn't shut up & sing?
Ain't you glad the Clash didn't shut up & sing?
Ain't you glad Ronnie didn't shut up & sing?
Ain't you glad Ole Haggard didn't shut up & sing?
Ain't you glad Pete Seeger didn't shut up & sing?
Ain't you glad Neil didn't shut up & sing?
You can bet your ass we won't shut up & sing!
You can bet your ass we won't shut up & sing!
