Lyrics:
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're shutting down Goddamned Reagan's in the White House And nobody gives a damn Double-digit unemployment TVA is shutting soon While over there in Huntsville They puttin' people on the moon So 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 still got to try And if I died in Colbert County Would it make the evening news? They're too busy throwin' rockets Puttin' people on the moon
Mary Alice, she 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 by Mary 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 destroyed Nothin' really changes, cemetery gets more full And over there in Huntsville, even NASA's shut down too
And now another fucking party says a change is 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 day's upon us, but it's sucking left 'hind tit And the preacher on the TV says it ain't too late for me But I bet he's drivin' a Cadillac
And I wish I's still an outlaw, was a better way of life I could clothe and feed my family Still have time to love my pretty wife
And if you say I'm get it coming Ain't you got better things to do? Turning mountains into oceans Putting people on the moon
Turning mountains into oceans Putting people on the moon
