Jimmy Brown the Blues Boy
I write some songs and sing 'em too my name is Jimmy Brown Everybody knows that I play music in this town Well I used to make a decent wage, the children all could eat They all had hats upon their heads, and shoes upon their feet
But in the book of history my children turned the page They don't read the morning paper sir in this computer age They still like their music sir, but now they get it free And the morning paper fills the holes in the shoes upon my feet
The Internet's a wondrous thing with all the tools it brings I like to use that Google when I write the songs I sing But the very thing that helped me sir is part of my demise Peer to Peer is eating up my little piece of pie
They rip my disk, compress the files and mail it that same day Well I'm still making music sir, and I still got to live But you still listen to my songs, and something's got to give
If I had been that guy who wrote that 'Grand Theft Auto' theme I might still be living that good old American Dream Well I need to write a hit song that'll play on your cellphone I'd have some bacon with my beans if you buy my ringtone 更多更详尽歌词 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔镜歌词网
America was built upon an interesting idea It started up in Boston back in 1773 They had a big 'ole party there, they made salt water tea But the party never ended, we still want our stuff for free
Well we hate our politicians with their evil taxing ways We want good roads, we want good schools, but we don't want to pay We all want to have our cake, we want to eat it too It's been a grand experiment, but now the bill is due
Four stages in a picker's life, first two is Jimmy Brown The next is 'Get me Jimmy Brown', then 'Get me a young Jimmy Brown' I been through stages 1-2-3, and now I'm feeling down The only stage that's left for me is 'who is Jimmy Brown'
Flatt and Scruggs would sing this song, but the words are not the same They guy that wrote this music sir, I do not know his name But I sure know who wrote these words, I swear that I ain't lyin' They guy who wrote this parody, his name... is Tim O'Brien
