The Fifty-One Percent

From Birmingham on up to DC Across the middle and from sea to shining sea It’s rising—just watch and see May be tough for you to understand That’s why I’m ‘splainin’ to you man to man to man C’mon fellas, take a knee... Your private plumbing don’t buy you a public pass Don’t matter if the man in charge is both pachyderm and jackass Any preacher, judge or politician is as slimy as a week-old bass If he relegates the 51 percent to second class. I don’t care what you hang from your ball hitch I don’t care where you spit or scratch your itch We ain’t talkin’ bout mere etiquette. This is more than fixin’ a sexist snub This is pullin’ down the pillars of the Ol’ Boys Club You best watch you head—you ain’t seen nothin’ yet! Your private plumbing don’t buy you a public pass Don’t matter if the man in charge is both pachyderm and jackass Any preacher, judge or politician is as slimy as a week-old bass If he relegates the 51 percent to second class. (Instrumental) Your private plumbing don’t buy you a public pass Don’t matter if the man in charge is both pachyderm and jackass Any preacher, judge or politician is as slimy as a week-old bass If he relegates the 51 percent to second class. Your private plumbing don’t buy you a public pass Don’t matter if the man in charge is both pachyderm and jackass Any preacher, judge or politician is as slimy as a week-old bass If he relegates the 51 percent to second class.
