Ray Stevens - You Didn't Build That lyrics

[Ray Stevens - You Didn't Build That lyrics]

You may have swung the hammer you
May have poured the slab
You may have put in all your time,  muscle
Brains and sweat
But when it comes down to it
The way Obama sees it
You poor deluded jerk, you didn't build that

It may have been your idea
It may have been your dream
It may have been a long shot
That paid off but don't forget
When it comes down to it
The way Obama sees it
You scatterbrained moron
You didn't build that

Your business belongs to the government
Always has and always will
The only time they don't take the credit
Is when it comes time to pay the bill
So if you are successful and
Your hard work pays off
Don't be too proud of your accomplishment
'Cause when it comes down to it
The way Obama sees it
If you got a business, you didn't build that

Before you even started
You needed our approval
You kept us busy chargin' fees
For permit's and dirt removal
Our engineers reviewed your plans
More taxes were collected
Every step along the way
You had to be inspected
We did everything for you with
All our government powers
And now it's our plan that sooner or later
It's gonna be ours
You didn't build jack and that's a fact, Mack

So if you are successful and
Your hard work pays off
Don't be too proud of your accomplishment
'Cause when it comes down to it
The way Obama sees it
If you got a business, you didn't build that

You know you don't know nothin' 'bout
Nothin' and that's a fact, jack
You didn't build that
