[Verse 1]
Joe was born in New York City
Son of Paul and Catherine
Always down and always out
But his morals always seemed just fine
[Chorus]
There will be bigotry
And there will be open minds
There will be days of peace
I hope you have the time
As long as you keep a straight face
I will be there when you die
As long as you keep a straight face
I will be there when you die
[Verse 2]
I was born in East Kentucky
Home of where the grass is dyed
Always down and always out
But my morals always seemed just fine
[Chorus]
Thеre will be bigotry
And therе will be open minds
There will be days of peace
I hope you have the time
As long as you keep a straight face
I will be there when you die
As long as you keep a straight face
I will be there when you die
[Outro]
I will be there when you die
