When I was small I used to stand With my hand on my heart And I would sing to you You were my son and my lover My father and my brother I believed in you It was so easy then It was so easy then But where are you now It seems like you can't hear me anymore Maybe you're just getting too old But do you remember 201 years ago When you were young How strong you had become Promising every one you sweet gift of freedom Now you know exactly who I am I seem to tell you all the time Now tell me some kind of truth about yourself Your life should be as open as mine There are children dying for you That doesn't sound like freedom to me You keep lyin' about why they're dyin' When they should be conceived in liberty Show yourself Show yourself to me You're the one that told me Remember You told me I was born to be free Open all your doors I want to see All your doors and your keys I want to see I want to hear you All 88 keys yeah Oh give it to me Show yourself Show yourself to me I want to see the stars and the stripes That can make those things scream Show yourself Show yourself to me Expose yourself I wanna see your face Come on give it to me Show yourself Show yourself to me Are you RCA Are you Standard Oil Are you A.T.&T. I wanna see Give it to me if you got one I wanna see come on and show yourself Who runs this? who runs this country? Show me Show yourself Give it to me Show yourself to me I want to know I wanna see Give it to me show yourself Show yourself to me I want you know I wanna see Give it to me show yourself Show yourself to me Who runs it? who runs it around? Show me show me show your face to me
