Big Fat jealous
I never do nothing but criticize,
My big butt laid on my couch.
A gin tonic at my hand, I claim to be the arbiter of style
I have an opinion about everything,
and I know that the world is awaiting for me.
I know how the things should be done,
So I send all my thoughts, from my seat.
I don’t really care if you disagree,
Cause I’m right and of course you are wrong,
And my facebook friends who never contradict me,
enforce my superiority feelings.
‘Cause I’m a big fat jealous,
A big fat jealous,
Yeah a big fat jealous,
You know a big fat jealous,
I am a big fat jealous, sharing my hate to everyone…
The more I hurt, the more I’m happy,
But my lonelyness is driving me crazy,
Don’t really know why, but know one loves me,
My twisted mind is my only company.
But I have an opinion about everything,
and I know that the world is awaiting for me.
‘Cause I’m a big fat jealous,
A big fat jealous,
Yeah a big fat jealous,
You know a big fat jealous,
I am a big fat jealous, sharing my hate to everyone…
‘Cause I’m a big fat jealous,
A big fat jealous,
Yeah a big fat jealous,
You know a big fat jealous,
I am a big fat jealous, sharing my hate to everyone…
Do you want some ?
Deal with the Devil
No money, no job, I felt the pressure of the Devil’s claw,
I’ve pawned, my last guitar, looked like I gave the devil a ride
Now got the money, but once again, followed a girl into the Devil’s Den
She was so pretty, oh so pretty, So I’ve spent my bucks in Devil’s fire
No money left, no eagle’s flight, that’s when I saw the Devil’s smile, he said
I can help you, I can save you, I can give you what you want and more,
That’s why, that night, I’ve sealed a deal, a deal with the devil.
Bridge
I ain’t seen no God, all along my fall,
‘haven’t heard no God, all the days I’ve call
Twice it’s vice
You fooled me once, When I thought you were mine
Now you come back to me, Thinking it would be fine
But Twice it’s vice, twice it’s vice,
I already know the price,
Don’t you know that twice it’s vice ?
You crushed my mind, blew it all away,
How can you think I’d like to remember those days ?
Twice it’s vice, twice it’s vice,
You’re the cat, looking for mice,
Don’t you know that twice it’s vice ?
I gave you all my love, Ain’t got nothing left,
But you come back for more, like a seasonal theft
But Twice it’s vice, Baby twice it’s vice,
Please go away baby,
Don’t you know that twice it’s vice ?
I was still and happy, until I met you,
Thinking ‘bout the old time, still makes me Blue.
Twice it’s vice, twice it’s vice,
I already know the price,
Don’t you know that twice it’s vice ?
Evil in my country
There’s Evil in my country, Brothers and Sisters gettin’ crazy
There’s Evil in my country, Brothers and Sisters gettin’ crazy
Only fear, hate and anger, No more place for hope down here
You’d better run, you’d better run for your life,
You’d better run, you’d better run for your life,
‘Cause if they find you late at night, be prepared for your last fight
God sent no angels, he sent no angels here,
God sent no angels, he sent no angels here,
The sent them right to Hell, because it was a safer place
There’s Evil in my country, Brothers and Sisters gettin’ crazy
There’s Evil in my country, Brothers and Sisters gettin’ crazy
Only fear, hate and anger, No more place for hope down here
Don’t let them
I got that old strange feeling, when I wake up from my bed,
I got that old strange feeling, when I wake up from my bed,
The world is playing against me, I’ll have to fight all day long.
Hard luck and trouble seem to be on my way,
Hard luck and trouble seem to be on my way,
But I’m harder than that, and I won’t let them put me down.
Don’t let them, don’t let them put you down,
Don’t let them, don’t let them put you down,
Stay up, stay strong, and make your way on your own.
BREAK
My boss wants to fire me, I ain’t got no money,
Thought it couldn’t get worse, but my wife wants to break,
I won’t, I won’t let them put me down,
I stay up, stay strong, and make my way on my own.
Don’t let them, don’t let them to put you down,
Don’t let them, don’t let them to put you down,
Sometimes things get rough, but don’t you let them put you down
Leave this town
Since the day I was born, I’ve always been, like a leaf dancing in the wind,
looking for somebody who cares for me.
Never found someone to love, but I found many reasons to drink,
I’m not keen to work five days a week.
Got to leave, got to leave, got to leave this town,
Got to leave this town behind me,
Leave this town, troubles and pain,
Got to leave, got to leave, got to leave this town,
just to set me free,
Got to leave this town, away from me.
She said « lyer, lyer, where’s my diamond ring ?
That you promised me, in the songs you sing… »
I said Baby, I’m sorry but I’m only rich, with my words and my music,
She said « Bye-bye looser » and left me for another guy.
Got to leave, got to leave, got to leave this town,
Got to leave this town behind me,
Leave this town, troubles and pain,
Got to leave, got to leave, got to leave this town,
just to set me free,
Got to leave this town, away from me.
Banker, lawyer, lover, are on my trail,
They all want to see me brought in a jail
So I hitch a ride, toward the North, To find a couple of friends,
Then I hit road the fastest way I can.
Got to leave, got to leave, got to leave this town,
Got to leave this town behind me,
Leave this town, troubles and pain,
Got to leave, got to leave, got to leave this town,
just to set me free,
Got to leave this town, away from me.
Trouble is my name
Oh trouble is my name, in everything I do,
Trouble is my name, in everything I do,
I tried so many ways, But it’s the only one I know
I’ve had good job, the finest clothes in town,
I’ve had good job, the finest clothes in town,
But I lost all these thing, for a triple-of-one
I was well paid, had the fastest car,
I was well paid, had the fastest car,
But it flew away, one night in a bar
Oh trouble is my name, in everything I do,
Trouble is my name, in everything I do,
I tried so many ways, But it’s the only one I know
I’ve had a lovely woman, a kind hearted one,
I’ve had a lovely woman, a kind hearted one,
But she just left me, for a long pair of legs…
Oh trouble is my name, in everything I do,
Trouble is my name, in everything I do,
I tried so many ways, But it’s the only one I know
My duty
Oh Baby, Can’t you hear me knocking on your door ?
Oh Baby, Can’t you hear me knocking on your door ?
It’s so cold outside, I’ll soon get frozen on the floor.
Oh baby, Why do you treat me so mean ?
Oh baby, Why do you treat me so mean ?
Open this door darling, you’re the best rider I have ever seen.
Oh baby, I know your man is out of town,
Oh baby, I know your man has gone,
Let me comfort you Honey, you won’t stay on your own.
He won’t be back, before ninety-nine days,
He won’t be back, before ninety-nine days,
And it’s my duty, to take care of my brother’s wife.
Oh baby, Why do you treat me so mean ?
Oh baby, Why do you treat me so mean ?
Open this door darling, you’re the best rider I have ever seen.
In the Land of the Blues
In my hours of sadness, when everything crawls around me,
I’m thinkin’ ‘bout the good old days, and I wish I was back to Mississippi
We came by the Natchez’s bride, Fat Mama’s Tamales,
My buddy and me, were on our way
Headed by Highway 61, just like a Bob Dylan’s song,
A hook to Indianola tu pledge allegiance to the King (a hail to the King)
Well I wish I was back, I wish I was back, To the Land of The Blues
Clarksdale still the home of the Blues,
Some Ghosts sold their souls here,
But I ain’t seen any Devil, only fallen Angels (x2)
Well I wish I was back, I wish I was back, To the Land of The Blues
I hoped to catch that ol’ spirit, on Robert Johnson’s three graves,
In the pouring rain, in little Zion church, I’ve prayed to be saved (x2)
Well I wish I was back, I wish I was back, To the Land of The Blues
In my hours of sadness, when everything crawls around me,
I’m thinkin’ ‘bout the good old days, and I wish I was back to Mississippi
Freedom is a hard way
I’m standing by the border
Waiting for the sun going down.
I came here by a long way,
From a poor little town.
Does it worth, what it costs ?
Everyone I love the most ?
I left my home and my family,
Everything behind me.
Some people call me crazy,
Other ones call me lazy.
Does it worth, what it costs ?
Everything I have got ?
Freedom, is a hard way
But a new life is waiting a mile away,
Freedom, is a hard way
I wonder if there’s a god to pray
Freedom, is a hard way
But a new life is waiting a mile away,
Freedom, is a hard way
I wonder if there’s a god to pray
I’m standing by the border.
And the sun has gone down.
I’ve had to cross many rivers
But I made it on my own…
Does it worth, what it costs ?
Everything I have got ?
Freedom, is a hard way
But a new life is waiting just a mile away,
Freedom, is a hard way
I wonder if there’s a god to pray
