Election Blues

Oh, I think I've been here before

Finger on the trigger and my good foot out the door

I think I've heard this line

The house is on fire, but everything will be just fine

Tell the lawyers that I paid my bills

Dotted the line when I signed my will

Hey mama, won't you tie your shoes?

You got the rattlesnake fever and election blues

Oh, I think I've seen this film

Different director but we all know how it ends

Oh, you know I've read this book

Just another killer that gets right off the hook

Tell the lawyers that I paid my bills

Dotted the line when I signed my will

Hey mama, won't you tie your shoes?

You got the rattlesnake fever and election blues

First, they tell you that your brother's not the same

Then they come, and they tell you that your sister is to blame

Oh, then they tell you there's no heaven up above, oh Lord now

They put a knife in your neck and tell you all you need is love

Now tell me, do you wanna be free? Oh Lord, yes

Now tell me, do you wanna be free? Hey now

Are you ready, do you wanna be free? Oh, come on now

Come on, tell me, do you wanna be free?

Do you wanna be free?

Tell the lawyers that I paid my bills

Dotted the line when I signed my will

Hey mama, won't you tie your shoes?

You got the rattlesnake fever and election blues
