Lyrics

Cocktail waitress busted her leg,
Now she can’t serve that drink made of eggs.
Broke and jobless bills to pay,
Born and raised in the USA.

Rich man’s son fractured his arm,
Fixed his debt with his lucky charms.
Can’t write checks but his bills are paid,
Born and raised in the USA!

(Yeah you oughta know!)
I’m not smiling to be nice.
(Yeah you oughta know!)
I’m not smiling to be nice, so tip me!

Beautiful lady in a limousine,
Strapping on stilettos for the silver screen.
Strutting red rugs in a sexy dress,
Never held a job but forever blessed.

Factory worker threw out his back,
Holed up alone in a tiny shack.
Unemployed and hooked on pills,
Roaming the street in search of dollar bills, c’mon!

Yeah you oughta know!
Yeah you oughta know!
Yeah you oughta know, know, know!

(Yeah you oughta know!)
She’s not smiling to be nice.
(Yeah you oughta know!)
The factory’s still on strike,
To get paid!

Yeah you oughta know!
Yeah you oughta know!
Yeah you oughta know, know, know!
