Ya'll excuse me, but sometimes I just gotta say what's on my mind. This one obviously came out of the economic mess we all find ourselves in these days. As songwriters, we all know how good it feels sometime to just "get it off our chest". Well this one helped me do that. Thanks for listening. B/Burr
The world's gone crazy ain't no fun anymore
It used to be a good time but now the man's at the door
He wants the money he gave your plan was doomed from the start
Lived on the edge of a bubble and everybody was smart
-- Chorus #1 --
So tell me who you gonna run to now?
And how you gonna save your house?
You feel that pounding way down deep in your heart
Weren't you so cool when everybody was smart?
Said he would make you a loan that you don't have to repay
Just take this money son have-a-big holiday
And if you run out of cash and want to have some more fun
Just give me a call so I can reload my gun
-- Chorus #2 --
And tell me who you gonna run to now?
What-will-it take for you to save your house?
You feel that pounding way down deep in your heart
Weren't you so cool when everybody was smart?
-- Instrumental Break + Bridge --
Just like a junkie with a monkey hanging on-his back
You cry for help but there ain't nobody there
Shot a-dollar full-of-juice and then they called your name
Ain't no escape now tell me who’s to blame?
Yea, the world’s gone crazy, ain’t no fun anymore
We used to have a good time but now the man’s at the door
He wants the money he gave your plan was doomed from the start
Lived on the edge of the bubble and everybody was smart
-- Chorus #1 + Tag & End --
Everybody was smart, everybody was smart, cool when everybody was smart
