Henry Ford from Gasoline by Utility Project

With Thomas Edison you were obsessed
you convinced his son to capture his dying breath

And you swore that you lived before
that you were a soldier in the civil war

I saw Calvin peein' on your name
on the back of a pickup truck again

you modernized the assembly line
and turned out cars in record time

I saw Calvin peein' on your name
on the back of a pickup truck again

Happy Birthday Henry Ford
it's the 30th of July once more
Happy Birthday Henry Ford
even though you're dead
doesn't mean you're ignored

Every car I've ever owned
it was a Ford, it's all I've known

Happy Birthday Henry Ford
it's the 30th of July once more
Happy Birthday Henry Ford

Labor unions you abhorred
so you hired some goons, eh, Mr. Ford?

when you were ten you knew then you would be an engineer
you lived on a farm in Dearborn Michigan that year
you saw a thresher that was made to propel itself
you took it apart and you rebuilt it all by yourself
