You Gotta Be Kiddin' Me
My after work thoughts, feelings . . .
YOU GOT TO BE KIDDIN’ ME
[Chorus]
You got to be kiddin’ me
You got to be kiddin’ me
I thought this was the land of the free
But the people I see
Don’t look free to me
And nobody’s smilin’ much these days
[Verse 1]
Now, they want a transit tax
And more property tax
Add the income tax; up to our necks deep
The price of groceries
The price of gasoline
So little of my small paycheck to keep
[Chorus]
You got to be kiddin’ me
You got to be kiddin’ me
I thought this was the land of the free
But the people I see
Don’t look free to me
And nobody’s smilin’ much these days
[Verse 2]
You know they want the guns
But without guns we’re done
And there’s nowhere to run to anymore
The distress is worldwide
A Roller-coaster ride
Buckle up my friends the Serpent's at the door
[Chorus]
You got to be kiddin’ me
You got to be kiddin’ me
I thought this was the land of the free
But the people I see
Don’t look free to me
And nobody’s smilin’ much these days
[Verse 3]
The little 'g' god
A fist and a rod
They expect you to nod in agreement
But once you cave in
There’s no savin’
The remnants of freedom and liberty
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
Now, they want a transit tax
And more property tax
Add the carbon tax; up to our necks deep
The price of electricity
The price of tyranny
So little of my patriot pride to keep
[Chorus]
You got to be kiddin’ me
You got to be kiddin’ me
I thought this was the land of the free
But the people I see
Don’t look free to me
And nobody’s smilin’ much these days
Nobody’s smilin’ much these days
Nobody’s smilin’ much these days.

@sidshovel if only I could write/play/capture an audience as Country Joe and the Fish! But I'll do my best.

@RainyDayMan & @sidshovel don't know about 'Country Joe and the Fish' but I think this one sort 'a kicks who....a! Really enjoyed singin' it! A little on the long side but I think it keeps the attention.

Yep, definitely got that sing-a-long factor! That feels just right for your lyric.
