John Mellencamp - The Great Midwest слова песни
Everything is slower here, everybody`s got a union cardThey get up on Sunday and go to church of their choiceCome back home cook out in the backyardChorus:And they call this the Great MidwestWhere the cornfields row and flowThey`re all 5 years ahead of their timeOr 25 behind, I just don`t knowAll the young men talk about their 4 wheel drivesAnd how much money they`re gonna make on Friday nightAnd, they like to brag about how they mistreat their girlfriendsHey, let`s get drunk, party it up, start a fightChorus II:And they call this the Great MidwestSure make a hell of a carAnd the old hearts, they race their way through the nightThe upheaval of who they really areGrowin` up under normal conditions, television and radioThat`s just about all of this whole worldThat any of us get to see, get to knowChorus III:And they call this the Great MidwestWhere you sacrifice your body and soulAnd no one really wants to get evenMost of us find it hard enough just lettin` goBridge:Don`t get me wrong I ain`t complainingI ain`t braggin` nor do I mean to place blameThat`s just the way things are around hereAnd there`s a future carryin` my name on itSayin` hey man, you gonna stick around here you better get on itIf you`re gonna stick around here you better make yourself some real good friendsWell I wasn`t born with a silver spoon in my mouthSo I can`t talk about the big city lifeBut if you wanna talk about bein` bored and runnin` away from yourself, hell I talk to you all nightChorus IV:And they call this the Great MidwestWhere livin` is just gettin` byAnd people trade in their happinessFor a smokestack, a big money deal in the sky
