[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
You'll never 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]

[Outro]
I will be there when you die
