Politcal Graffiti |
Written by AG and DMB
If I’m so smart I ask myself Then why am I so broke I’ve got worn out shoes a worn out shirt And a worn out hat and coat And, if you are asking me To pray thanks for what I’ve got I’d have to say: “Hey, thank you Jesus” But I ain’t got a heckuva lot Chorus: Everybody’d like to be a rich man Sad, tanned, spoiled and unabused Everybody’d like to try a new pair of shoes So they could shake those poor man’s blues Hey! Somebody lend me a dollar. The governor says he’s broke. He can’t give me any more. I called him up. Told him I was coming to supper. Told him to set out a big ole plate for me. They say the rich are all unhappy That money doesn’t really count Well, I may be a damned ole fool But I’d like to try the money out Then if I get lazy and a little bit crazy You can blame it on what you choose But the way my life is going now I ain’t got much to loose Chorus |
