《Meanest Man》歌词

[00:00:00] Meanest Man - Billy Bragg and Wilco

[00:00:15] If the folks next door to me weren't so good

[00:00:18] I'd do all the mean things anybody could

[00:00:22] I'd drink an' I'd gamble an' I'd louse around

[00:00:26] I'd be the meanest man in this whole town

[00:00:33] If I hadn't seen the light in that old lady's eyes

[00:00:37] I'd try to be a man you would hate an' despise

[00:00:40] I'd rave an' I'd rant an' I'd scream an' yell

[00:00:44] An' I'd chase my neighbors from here to Hell

[00:00:48] If I hadn't heard those kids laugh playing games

[00:00:52] I'd have nervous fits I'd go insane

[00:00:56] I'd turpentine cats an' tin can dogs

[00:00:59] I'd smother people to death inside of hollow logs

[00:01:18] If the people around me wasn't so nice

[00:01:21] I'd freeze my heart into a cake of ice

[00:01:25] Steal money from soldiers an' working folks too

[00:01:29] I'd lend you a dollar an' I'll take back two

[00:01:37] If my wife didn't kiss me the way she does

[00:01:40] I'd carry four or five daggers an' three or four guns

[00:01:44] I'd shoot craps an' ramble an' hang out late

[00:01:48] I'd steal baby buggies an' Cadillac Eights

[00:01:51] If my friends didn't write me those letters I get

[00:01:55] I'd be a dictator the worse one yet

[00:01:59] I'd be the only smart bird you'd all be fools

[00:02:02] Send you all away to war an' I'd stay home an' rule

[00:02:21] If it wasn't for little songs I I hear you all sing

[00:02:25] I'd put a crown on my dome an' I'd say I'm your king

[00:02:29] I'd kidnap some an' blackmail others

[00:02:32] I'd peddle black market stuff rob sisters an' brothers

[00:02:36] If it weren't for your talking I hear on the street

[00:02:40] I'd be the orneriest man that you ever did meet

[00:02:43] I'd preach the Gospel of Hate an' I'd drink your blood

[00:02:47] But I can't be this bad because my folks are too good

[00:02:51] No I can't be this bad because my folks are too good

[00:02:55] I'd have to shout it out loud "My folks are too good"
