Letra de Puttin’ People on the Moon (Vocal Recut / Remixed / Remastered)
Mary Alice had a baby And she looked just like I did We got married on a Monday And I been working ever since Every week down at the Ford Plant But now they say they're shutting down Goddamned Reagan's in the White House And nobody gives a damnDouble-digit unemployment TVA is shutting soon While over there in Huntsville They puttin' people on the moonSo I took to runnin' numbers for the man I used to know And I sell a few narcotics and I sell a little blow I ain't getting rich now, but I'm gettin' more than by It's really tough to make a living but a man just got to tryIf I died in Colbert County, would it make the evening news? They're too busy blowin' rockets, puttin' people on the moonMary Alice, quit askin' why I do the things I do I ain't sayin' that she likes it, but what else I'm gonna do? If I could solve the world's problems, I'd probably start with hers and mine They can put a man on the moon But I'm stuck down here, just scraping byMary Alice got cancer just like everybody here It seems everyone I know is gettin' cancer every year And we can't afford no insurance, I've been ten years unemployed So she didn't get no chemo and our lives, they was destroyedNothin' ever changes, cemetery gets more full And now over there in Huntsville, even NASA's shut down tooMotherfucker in the White House said a change was comin' 'round But I'm workin' at the Walmart, Mary Alice, in the ground And all them politicians, they're all lyin' sacks of shit They say better days upon us, but it's sucking left hind titAnd the preacher on the TV says it ain't too late for me But I bet he drives a Cadillac Woo!And I wish I'z still an outlaw, was a better way of life I could clothe and feed my family Still have time to love my pretty wifeIf you say I'm being punished Ain't he got better things to do? Turnin' mountains into oceans Puttin' people on the moonTurnin' mountains into oceans Puttin' people on the moon
