《Puttin’ People on the Moon》歌词

[00:00:00] Puttin' People on the Moon - Drive By Truckers

[00:00:11] Mary alice had a baby and he looked just like I did

[00:00:17] We got married on a monday and I been working ever since

[00:00:23] Every week down at the ford plant but now they say they're shutting down

[00:00:29] Goddamned reagan in the white house and noboby gives a damn

[00:00:35] Double digit unemployment tva be shutting soon

[00:00:41] While over there in huntsville they puttin' people on the moon

[00:00:46] So I took to runnin' numbers for this man I used to know

[00:00:52] And I sell a few narcotics and I sell a little blow

[00:00:58] I ain't getting rich now but I'm gettin' more than by

[00:01:03] It's really tough to make a living but a man just got to try

[00:01:09] If I died in colbert county would it make the evening news

[00:01:14] They too busy blowin' rockets puttin' people on the moon

[00:01:31] Mary alice she quit askin' why I do the things I do

[00:01:37] I ain't sayin' that she likes it but what else I'm gonna do

[00:01:43] If I could solve the world's problems I'd probably start with hers and mine

[00:01:48] But they can put a man on the moon

[00:01:51] And I'm stuck down here just scraping by

[00:01:56] Mary alice got cancer just like everybody here

[00:02:01] Seems everyone I know is gettin' cancer every year

[00:02:06] And we can't afford no insurance I been 10 years unemployed

[00:02:12] So she didn't get no chemo and our lives they was destroyed

[00:02:18] And nothin' ever changes the cemetery gets more full

[00:02:23] And now over there in huntsville even nasa's shut down too

[00:02:40] Another jokers in the white house said a change was comin' round

[00:02:45] But I'm workin' at the wal mart mary alice in the ground

[00:02:51] And all them politicians they all lyin' sacks of shit

[00:02:57] They say better days upon us but it's sucking left hind tit

[00:03:02] And the preacher on the TV says it ain't too late for me

[00:03:08] But I bet he drives a cadillac and I'm broke with hungry mouths to feed

[00:03:25] And I wish I'z still an outlaw was a better way of life

[00:03:30] I could clothe and feed my family still have time to love my pretty wife

[00:03:42] If you say I'm being punished ain't he got better things to do

[00:03:47] Turnin' mountains into oceans puttin' people on the moon

[00:03:59] Turnin' mountains into oceans puttin' people on the moon
