Hey Joe, you got a lot of air tonight
Monkey wrench used a lot in the fight
Hey Joe, he cares a lot ‘bout you pal
Hey Joe, I didn’t even get a little call

Hey Joe, Is it our names ain’t the same?
Jane, nobody seems to know her name
Six pack Joe and you have cornered it all
Or nobody cares about me and a little gal

Hey Joe, I’m glad you’re in business, I’m not
Laid off last month and in an awfilly tight spot
I’ll work with my hands to put food on the table
Un-clog that drain I’ll do what you want, I’m able

Hey Joe, no bus fare to attend a meeting
Corner TV, and tell of my tax beating
Hey Joe, I can live on one tenth of that 250K
Send kids to school and pay taxes I have to pay

Hey Joe, I’m feeling really awful tonight
Can’t see the end of the tunnel, no light
Jane and I got nothing I really must say
Except our votes to cast, come Election Day!
