I went in search of rednecks I heard that they were rare br But I found them to be plentiful I saw them everywhere br I saw them digging dykes and drains in mud up to their knees br And I saw them in the Parliament People of high degrees. br br I saw them in the factories on the production line br And I saw them work in offices they start on stroke of nine br Some of them seen as successful and others lowly paid br To be classed as a redneck there is no special grade. br br The wisest man I ever met dug his garden with a spade br I asked him what makes a redneck he said they are born not made br He said we elect them to high office and give them power and say br But you cannot make a redneck for they are born that way. br br When I asked him how would you recognize a redneck he smiled and shook his head br You don't have to be an Einstein to answer that he said br All rednecks are exploiters and they love money and power br And in this world they see no beauty to them a flower's a flower. br br You will find them in all classes and he went on to explain br Rednecks do not help out others only seek out their own gain br Look at the poor painter Vincent Van Gogh it's been said he died insane br But from his works and efforts others great wealth did attain. br br You can even tell the rednecks by the very words they say br On their paths to wealth and progress 'greenies' standing in the way br We will build another factory we will cut the tall trees down br And bulldoze the ancient woodland for to build another town. br br I went in search of rednecks and I see them everywhere br And the greatest redneck of them all sat on the P.M's chair br And the wisest man I ever met dug his garden with a spade br And he said rednecks are born that way as such types cannot be made.
