Rate My Music

Lyrics

[Intro] Folk music [Chorus] Rate my music one-two-three Keep your children safe from me Rate my writing X-Y-Z That's what keeps this country free [Verse 1] You got Ma Rainey talkin' 'bout a jelly roll Chuck Berry workin' on a mojo Bessie Smith singin' bull dagger blues Elvis twitching on the evening news [Chorus] Rate my music one-two-three Keep your children safe from me Rate my writing X-Y-Z Living in the land of liberty, yeah [Verse 2] Gonna rate Walt Whitman, and Jean Cocteau All the fags will have to go Alexander the Great, and Plato and such The kids might catch it if they read too much, yeah [Verse 3] Well I watched the news last night at nine Saw a head blown off somebody's spine While the women moaned and the children screamed Doesn't anybody else think that's obscene? [Chorus] Rate my music one-two-three Keep your children safe from me Rate my writing X-Y-Z That's what keeps this country free, yeah [Verse 4] They're gonna rate all the dagos, the wops and the kikes Gonna rate all the chinks and the towelhead types Gonna rate all the niggers, gonna rate all the fags Gonna wrap it up tight in the American flag, yeah [Verse 5] All you folks who bitch and moan About the music kids buy and bring on home Tell me just one thing before we're done Where'd they get their money from? [Chorus] Rate my music one-two-three Keep your children safe from me, yeah Rate my writing X-Y-Z 'Cause that's what keeps this country free Rate my music, be my guest I don't care, it's just more press Rate my writing if you dare 'Cause when you're gone I'll still be there When you're gone I'll still be there When you're done I'll still be here, yeah
