Yeah! Here’s to all of us who built this place! Chorus: The rich man always seems to get the praise Their pocket books spoke at the end of the day A poor man’s labor and daily grind showed us the way Different perspective, different means, these are the folks Who built the USA Verse 1: The wares might have been different but the stories seem the same Invested the family fortune, made it work, took the risk they claim Born with that silver spoon at their right hand Always knew they weren’t a working man Chorus: The rich man always seems to get the praise Their pocket books spoke at the end of the day A poor man’s labor and daily grind showed us the way Different perspective, a different way, these are the folks Who built the USA Verse 2: The miner, laborer, the true nine to fiver They worked for the “man” became a real survivor Cashed a check at the end of the week Too many times it barely made ends meet Chorus: The rich man always seems to get the praise Their pocket books spoke at the end of the day A poor man’s labor and daily grind showed us the way Different perspective, a different way, these are the folks Who built the USA Bridge: Depends on your outlook or the experiences you had Lot’s of folks think they earned it ...rather than it coming from Mom or Dad… Final Chorus: Put away our differences and know this is how we got this way Whether built on your back or bank account from yesterday Together we put together a place everyone wants to stay A great nation, home of the brave, land of the free We all call the USA! Chorus: The rich man always seems to get the praise Their pocket books spoke at the end of the day A poor man’s labor and daily grind showed us the way Different perspective, a different way, these are the folks Who built the USA! Yeah we built the USA!
