Used Cars |
| They’re the curse of the common man |
| Used cars (used cars), used cars (used cars) |
| For rich folks just don’t understand |
| What it means to drive a junker, a jalopy, a bomb |
| Folks in new Mercedes don’t know where they’re comin' from |
| Used cars (used cars), used cars (used cars) |
| Yeah they’re the curse of the common man |
| Now you’ve seen those cars on people’s lawns |
| On concrete blocks with their fenders gone |
| Disgustin', rustin' testimony |
| To the money that folks have blown |
| On parts and labor and hoses and belts |
| Don’t judge them friends, they need our help |
| 'Cause thanks to that car |
| Their money and their minds are gone |
| Now when I go buy a used car |
| I’ll immediately put it on blocks in the yard |
| And don’t ever drive it anywhere |
| And save all that money on repairs… |
| Used cars (used cars), used cars (used cars) |
| They’re the curse of the common man |
| Well, I once had this 1963 two-tone troublemaker sedan |
| I mean she was Freddy Kruger, Jason and the Swamp Thing |
| All rolled into one |
| She was a nightmare on any street, friends |
| Had her towed to a used car lot |
| I said «Buddy, what’s she worth?» |
| He said «Well, that all depends, Slick» |
| I said «Depends on what?» |
| Said «On how much gas she has in the tank…» |
| Used cars (used cars), used cars (used cars) |
| They’re the curse of the common man |
| Now some of you folks just sit there and stare |
| Well I guess I’m not talkin' to everybody out there |
| Not everybody spent their whole life drivin' junk |
| No, some folks just drive cars that are new |
| Well God bless ya, friends, I’m not talkin' to you |
| No, I’m talkin' to the people with jumper cables in their trunk! |
| 'Cause we know what it means when it snows |
| To be somewhere with their fingers froze |
| Tryin' not to touch that ol' red cable |
| To that minus electrode… |
| Used cars (used cars), used cars (used cars) |
| They’re the curse of the common man |
| Yeah those folks in Mercedes |
| Might not know where they’re comin' from |
| But they sure know where we’re goin' |
| All they gotta do is follow that cloud of smoke |
| Or that stream of transmission fluid |
| Why, chances are 50:50 we’re on our way to |
| Or comin' from a repair shop! |
| Used cars (used cars), used cars (used cars) |
| They’re the curse of the common man |
| You sorry, no-good… |
