Mule began in 1991 in Detroit. Like the Hyenas, Mule played swampy Southern tinged backwoods rock, but with somewhat more of an affinity for traditional country--“hillbilly punk,” if you will. From 1991-1996, they released two full lengths, one EP, and a handful of singles. “Mule don’t give a damn about your political hang ups; but they’ll do wonders for your sex life.”

Mule Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you just can't help your self
want to feel special
Man want to make you feel like everybody else
Take away your freedom
Strip away your pride
Say you know you weren't born
With the blue blood son
Where's my mule?
Where's my forty acres
Where's my dream
Mr Emancipator
Live this way
Might as well meet my maker
Where's my mule?
Where's my mule?
I say trust me
But you say it's too much bother
Yeah, the way the man try to beat you down
Make you want to kill your brother
So go on and bust me
For what's in my mason jar
Yeah, I owes my soul
To the company store
How I'm doing so far?
Where's my mule?
Where's my forty acres
Where's my dream
Mr Emancipator
Live this way
Might as well meet my maker
Where's my mule?
Where's my mule?
Where's my mule?
Where's my forty acres
Where's my dream
Mr Emancipator
Live this way
Might as well meet my maker
Where's my, my, my, my, my, my mule?
The song "Mule" by Mule is a profound description of the sordid history of African Americans in America. The first stanza describes how the African Americans try but cannot help themselves being made to feel like other people. They are forced to give up their freedom and pride, and are made to feel that they do not belong anywhere. The mention of “blue-blood son” refers to a descendant of one of the old families of Virginia, a wealthy and privileged man who is seen as having the "right" bloodline. This compares to the African American who is made to feel inferior because of his skin color. The singer then implores them to take their place in line, asking where their forty acres and a mule are, referring to the reparations promised to former slaves in 1865.
In the second stanza, the singer talks about how the law and society always let the African American down, so much so that it makes them want to kill their own kin. The mention of the "company store" refers to the practice of Black sharecroppers being forced to purchase their own supplies from a store owned by the landowner. They would accumulate debt that they could never pay off, thus perpetually laboring for very little pay. The singer then asks for his mule, forty acres, and dreams promised to him by the Emancipation Proclamation. He feels that living this way, in constant struggle, will eventually kill him, so he might as well meet his maker.

Say you try
Despite your efforts,
But you just can't help your self
you find yourself trapped.
Want to feel special
You yearn to be treated differently,
Man want to make you feel like everybody else
but society forces you to conform.
Take away your freedom
You feel your liberty slipping away,
Strip away your pride
and your dignity is compromised.
Say you know you weren't born
You realize that you don't belong,
With the blue blood son
and the elite won't accept you.
So take your place in line
You accept your fate and fall in line.
Where's my mule?
The mule represents what you are owed,
Where's my forty acres
what you deserve for your work and suffering.
Where's my dream
You want to achieve your aspirations,
Mr Emancipator
but the promise of freedom remains unfulfilled.
Live this way
The constant struggle wears you down,
Might as well meet my maker
and you feel like your end is near.
I say trust me
Despite everything,
But you say it's too much bother
others don't believe in you.
Yeah, the way the man try to beat you down
The oppressive system constantly works against you,
Make you want to kill your brother
leading you to lash out at those around you.
So go on and bust me
You accept the consequences of your actions,
For what's in my mason jar
and the only thing you truly own is your moonshine.
Yeah, I owes my soul
Your soul belongs to someone else,
To the company store
to the system that keeps you indebted forever.
How I'm doing so far?
So, what do you think of my situation?
Where's my, my, my, my, my, my mule?
The repetition highlights your desperation and frustration
