Long Dark Night
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
George is in the jungle
Knockin' on the door
Come to get your children
Wants to have a war
Come on, lord you'd better run,
Be a long dark night before this thing is done
Brownie's in the outhouse
Katrina on the line
Government's a disaster
But George, he says it's fine
Come on, lord you'd better run,
Be a long dark night before this thing is done
Rummy's in the kitchen messin' with the pan
Dickie's in the back stealing everything he can
Come on, Lord you'd better run,
Be a long dark night before this thing is done
You better run, you better run,
Lord you better run, Lord you better run,
Runnin' down the highway
Shoutin' to the Lord
George's got religion
And you know he can't afford more, yeah
Come on, Lord you'd better run
Be a long dark night before this thing is done
Be a long dark night before this thing is done, oh Lord
