《Uncle Sam’s Lament》歌词

[00:00:00] Uncle Sam's Lament - The Foremen

[00:00:07] Well it ain't no hype

[00:00:11] Times is tough

[00:00:14] I'm cryin' and wipin' my nose on my cuff

[00:00:20] And I stand out on the sidewalk

[00:00:23] With my hand out in the cold

[00:00:28] Buddy can you spare a billion dollars

[00:00:35] Well I'm feelin' blue

[00:00:39] 'Tain't feelin' pink

[00:00:43] 'Cause I printed too much green stuff with red ink

[00:00:48] And I walk up Main Street Anytown

[00:00:52] In hock up to my neck

[00:00:55] Buddy can you spare a billion dollars

[00:01:03] Once the sun was high

[00:01:06] And I was everybody's Uncle Sam

[00:01:10] All I had to do was point a finger at 'em and say

[00:01:14] "I want you "

[00:01:17] Now the sky is cloudy

[00:01:19] And they swear they don't know who I am

[00:01:23] I'm mildly recessed

[00:01:25] And tremendously overdressed

[00:01:31] A billion dollars

[00:01:34] Why that's a thousand million dollars

[00:01:37] That's enough to fill the Houston Astrodome

[00:01:39] With Good & Plenty

[00:01:41] That's enough to support

[00:01:42] Arianna Huffington for six or seven years

[00:01:47] That's enough to buy every banjo ever made

[00:01:51] But for me that's just one day's interest payment

[00:01:58] Now when I was secure

[00:02:02] I was a mensch

[00:02:06] I rebuilt Europe in spite of the French

[00:02:11] Now I'm flat out on the sidewalk

[00:02:14] With my hat out in the snow

[00:02:18] Buddy hey buddy

[00:02:24] Anybody can you spare a billion dollars
