They Say That Folk Music's For the Elite The wise and the old with a college degree A forty dollar ticket and a fifteen dollar drink They say that folk music's for the elite They say we're living an American Dream And if you work hard you will make money If they say that folk music's for the elite Well then who's gonna sing for me They say that healthcare will never come cheap But you'll do just fine if you stay healthy If you can't make rent then just get another job They say that happiness is for those who work hard They say that love well that's one thing that's free Let's fall in love and not buy anything I'll build you a house we can sit in the dark They say that happiness is for those who work hard If they say that folk music's for the elite Well then who's gonna sing for me Who's gonna sing for me?
