Long Long Gone |
I never tried as hard as I could |
I’ve seen more than I’ve understood |
Take my father, who came back from the dead |
«I needed just one more drink,» he said |
He sat there reading books |
While my mother slowly lost her looks |
And even though we were poor |
The sun still shined on our door |
O Lord! |
Please come down from the mountain |
Some of us are broke and having problems |
And everybody knows, that I know what’s going on |
And if cars could run on teardrops, I’d be long, long gone |
I got a plan to get me out of debt |
I’m gonna play this to perfect a bet |
I’m gonna change the pattern of the stars |
I’d like to horse-whip all these VCR’s |
Screw the soft rock and the salad bars |
Let’s turn our backs on all the movie stars |
Let’s raise our voices up and sing: |
«We are not one with everything» |
O Lord! |
Please come down from the mountain |
Some of us are broke and having problems |
And everybody knows, that I know what’s going on |
And if cars could run on teardrops, I’d be long, long gone |
Long, long gone |
Long, long gone |
