Текст песни

I did it because it is wrong for one man to have so much service

When other men have none

I did it to bring down the government of Abraham Lincoln

And to avenge the ravaged South

I did it to prove to her my everlasting love

I did it to make them listen to Charlie

I did it 'cause my belly was on fire

I did it to preserve the Union

And promote the sale of my book

I did it so my friends would know what I was coming from

Where's my prize?

I did it because no one cares about the poor man's pain

I did it so I would know where I was coming from

I want my prize

I did it 'cause the bosses

Made my belly burn (I did so she'd pay attention)

So I'd have some place to come from

And some place to go

Don't I get a prize?

I did it because they said

I'd be ambassador to France

I did it so they'd suffer in the North

The way we suffered in the South

I deserve a fucking prize

I did it so there'd be a trial

And Charlie would get to be a witness

And he'd be on TV

And he'd save the world

Where's my prize? (I did it to make people listen)

They promised me a prize (because she wouldn't take my phone calls!)

What about my prize? ('Cause nothing stopped the fire!)

I want my prize (and nobody would listen)

And it didn't mean a nickle

You just shed a little blood

And a lot of people shed a lot of tears

Yes, you made a little moment

And you stirred a little mud

But it didn't fix the stomach

And you've drunk your final Bud

And it didn't help the workers

And it didn't heal the country

And it didn't make them listen

And the never said, "we're sorry"

Yeah. it's never gonna happen

Is it?

No, sir

Never

No, we're never gonna get the prize

No one listens

No, it doesn't make a bit of difference

I just heard on the news

Where the mailman won the lottery

Goes to show, when you lose

What you do is try again

You can be what you chose

From a mailman to a President

There are prizes all around you

If you're wise enough to see

The delivery boy's on Wall Street

And the usherette's a rock star

Right, it's never gonna happen, is it?

No, we'll never see the day arrive

Spread the word (will we?)

No one's ever gonna even care

If we're alive, are they?

Someone's gonna listen

There's another national anthem playing

Not the one you cheer at the ballpark

It's the other national anthem

Saying, if you want to hear

To the tune that keeps sounding

Coming through the ground

To the hearts that go on pounding

To the sound getting louder every year

Listen to the sound"

We're the other national anthem, folks

The ones who can't get into the ballpark

There's another national anthem, folks

For those who never win

For the ones who might have been

There are those who love regretting

There are those who like extremes

There are those who thrive on chaos and despair

There are those who keep forgetting

That the country's built on dreams

And the mailman won the lottery

They may not want to hear it

Once they think it's gonna stop the game

And the usherette's a rock star!

No, they might not understand all the words

All the same, they hear the music

They hear the screams

You forgot about the country

So it's now forgotten you

You know why I did it?

Because there isn't any Santa Claus

Where you can make the lies come true

Gotta spread the word

That's all you have to do

Right, all you have to do

Well, there's another national anthem

And I think it just began in the ballpark

Like the other national anthem

Says to each and every fan:

If you can't do what you want to

Then you do the things you can

You gotta try again, like they say

You gotta keep on trying every day

Until you get a prize

Until you get a prize (until you're heard)

Mustn't get discouraged (spread the word)

Mustn't give up hope (up to you)

Don't say (what you chose)

It's never gonna happen (spread the word)

You can always get a prize

You can always get your dream

Sure, the mailman won the lottery
