Lyrics
Written by john mellencamp
Country gentleman walked a crooked mile Got our money in his pocket Did it all with a very handsome smile Now, he's livin' it up in a great big office He ain't a-gonna help no poor man He ain't a-goona help no poor man He ain't a-gonna help no poor man He's just gonna help his rich friends
He ain't a-gonna help no women He ain't a-gonna help no children He's just gonna help his rich friends
Country gentleman, we see him on t.v. Glad handin' folks and chattin' to the nation We never knew what really to believe Just word upon slogan with emotional connection
Chorus: He ain't a-gonna help no poor man He ain't a-gonna help no children He ain't a-gonna help no women He's just gonna help his rich friends
And in the papers all we'd ever read is So and so big-shot signed his resignation Now, country gentleman he wants us to believe That he's kind and honest with the best intentions
Chorus
Country gentleman, now there's a bird that flew High above his nation, prayed on its weakness Picked our bones and threw it in his stew Thank god he went back to california
Chorus
