puttin\x27 people On The Moon

歌曲歌詞

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 noboby 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 she 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 down here just 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
