lyrics

My father was a rich man and so I am the joy of the Lord! My mother was a fine woman, finest woman money affords! My brother don't care, cause he's living in the city on a dollar a day and the love that he is given and we try not to say what he's doing, we think he's better ignored. But oh, I got nothing to give, it's hard enough just to live, keeping myself on board. And hey, I don't care what you say, I'm gonna live by the sword!
Hell, yes!, Yes, gentlemen! We live in a land of milk and honey!
My Granddaddy's giving me the money that he made in the war. I was too young to remember, now it doesn't matter what it was for. Now I'm acting like a gentleman, sleeping with the queen, I might've sired me a child from a land you've never seen, and I'll be drinking in the morning cause I don't know what I'm living for. But oh, I've got nothing to give, it's hard enough just to live, keeping myself on board, and hey, I don't care what you say, I'm gonna live by the sword!
Hell, yes! Yes, gentlemen! We live in a land of milk and honey!
