Hush little mammy don’t you cryI’ve got to see what it’s like on the world outsideGot to get out of this life somehowGot to be free, got to be free nowI don’t want to be a constructor of highwaysA sweeper of sidewalks, I’ve got to do it my wayI’m too ill-equipped for a mathematicianA shrewd politician, a maker of decisionsWe’re not the greatest when when we’re separatedBut when we’re together I think we’re going to make itI don’t want to be like a fascist dictatorA saint or a sinner, I want to be a winner
