Bài hát Puttin' People On The Moon Báo Lỗi

Mary Alice had a baby and he looked just like I did

We got married on a Monday and I been working ever since

Every week down at the Ford Plant but now they say they're shutting down

Goddamned Reagan in the White House and no one there gives a damn


Double Digit unemployment, TVA be shutting soon

While over there in Huntsville, They puttin' people on the moon


So I took to runnin' numbers for this man I used to know

And I sell a few narcotics and I sell a little blow

I ain't getting rich now but I'm gettin' more than by

It's really tough to make a living but a man just got to try


If I died in Colbert County, Would it make the evening news?

They too busy blowin' rockets, Puttin' people on the moon


Mary Alice quit askin' why I do the things I do

I ain't sayin' that she likes it, but what else I'm gonna do?

If I could solve the world's problems I'd probably start with hers and mine

But they can put a man on the moon

And I'm stuck in Muscle Shoals just barely scraping by


Mary Alice got cancer just like everybody here

Seems everyone I know is gettin' cancer every year

And we can't afford no insurance, I been 10 years unemployed

So she didn't get no chemo so our lives was destroyed

And nothin' ever changes, the cemetery gets more full

And now over there in Huntsville, even NASA's shut down too


Another Joker in the White House, said a change was comin' round

But I'm still workin' at The Wal Mart and Mary Alice, in the ground

And all them politicians, they all lyin' sacks of shit

They say better days upon us but I'm sucking left hind tit

And the preacher on the TV says it ain't too late for me

But I bet he drives a Cadillac and I'm broke with some hungry mouths to feed


I wish I'z still an outlaw, was a better way of life

I could clothe and feed my family still have time to love my pretty wife

And if you say I'm being punished. Ain't he got better things to do?

Turnin' mountains into oceans Puttin' people on the moon


Turnin' mountains into oceans Puttin' people on the moon
