Billy Bragg - Meanest Man слова песни
If the folks next door to me wasnt so goodId do all the mean things anybody couldId drink and Id gamble and Id louse aroundId be the meanest man in this whole townIf I hadnt seen the light in that old ladys eyesId try to be a man that you would hate and despiseId rave and Id rant and Id scream and yellAnd Id chase all my neighbours from here to hellIf I hadnt heard those kids laugh playing gamesId have nervous fits and Id go insaneId turpentine cats and tin can dogsAnd Id smother people to death inside of holler logsIf the people around me wasnt so niceId freeze my heart into a cake of iceId steal money from soldiers and working folks tooId lend you a dollar and take back twoIf my wife didnt kiss me the way she doesId carry four or five daggers and three or four gunsId shoot craps and ramble and hang out lateAnd Id steal baby buggies and cadillac eightsIf my friends didnt write me those letters I getId get to be a dictator and be the worse one yetId be the only smart bird and youd all be foolsAll Id send you all away to war and Id set home and ruleIf it wasnt for them songs I hear all of you singId put a crown on my dome and Id say Im your kingId kidnap some and blackmail othersId peddle black market stuff and rob sisters and brothersIf it wasnt for your talking I hear along the streetId be the oneriest man that you ever did meetId preach the gospel of hate and Id drink your bloodBut I cant be this bad because my folks are too goodWords: woody guthrie (1945) - music: billy bragg (1997)
