recording of 1981
from
How Wire '81 (Ecidence ECD-26043-2)
Things ain't looking bad, sure it ain't looking sad
I said things ain't looking bad, sure it ain't looking sad
You know the dollar ain't what it used to be and my car don't run out of gas.
I'm gonna move, way away from the ghetto
I'm gonna move, way away from the ghetto
You know I can hardly eat, can't even buy a sack of potatoes
I got a job making good money and it just ain't enough to go around
My job paid good money, but it ain't enough to go around (not these days)
While I got things to do, I better move to another town
It ain't looking bad, sure it ain't looking real sad
It's looking bad, things sure ain't looking sad
May it is the worst old president that we've ever had
It's looking real bad, these are the worst times I've ever had
It's looking real sad, the worst things I've ever had
You know this thing we got for a president, I think he knows he's evil bad
He ain't for the poor man, sometime he's for the rich
We know he ain't for the poor man, maybe he is for the rich
But if we do right, he don't know which is which
He got it damn, worst things we've ever had
He got it bad, worst things we've ever had
Well, I don't know what to do, for the world it is real sad
Play my guitar before I sell it
You know the dollar ain't what it used to be, my car don't run out of gas
You know the dollar ain't what it used to be, and my car don't run out of gas
You know these are the worst old times that we've ever had
