I got a job, a wife, and a baby at home,
I got a pretty nice life, and a place of my own,
I pay the bills, I drive, and I know how to cook,
Play golf with a club, and I fish with a hook.
Am I qualified…
To say that war is a racket and just give peace a chance? C’mon.
Ain’t got no job, I stink, I live under a bridge,
I hit some pretty hard times, got no real place to live,
I have debt, I smoke, and I drink too much,
I got no teeth when I smile, and I walk with a crutch.
Am I qualified…
To say that one man’s greed makes another man bleed?
They all want you to be just like them,
As far as I can see, But no one’s got any better credentials,
I’m as qualified as can be…
I am young, so young, only 1 year old,
I’m just a baby goin’ crazy from the hunger and cold,
I got no voice, got no choice, I just do what I’m told,
If you look and I start crying, means you’re too damn old.
Am I qualified…
To say just respect me, I’ll serve humanity?
They all want you to be just like them,
As far as my eyes can see,
But no one’s got any better credentials,
I’m as qualified as can be…
I am old, I’m sick, I lie in bed all day,
I got no appetite, and I’m too tired to pray,
My friends are dead, I’m not, I just got to survive,
The faith I got in myself is what keeps me alive.
Am I qualified…
To say just take it from me, it’s your mind you must free?
They all want you to be just like them,
As far as anyone can see,
But no one’s got any better credentials,
I’m as qualified as can be…
