Lyrics
Ventilator Blues
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.
When your spine is cracking and your hands, they shake
Heart is bursting and your butt's gonna break
Woman's cussing, you can hear her scream
Feel like murder in the first degree
Ain't nobody slowing down no way
Everybody's stepping on their accelerator
Don't matter where you are
Everybody's gonna need a ventilator
When you're trapped and circled with no second chances
Your code of living is your gun in hand
We can't be browed by beating, we can't be cowed by words
Messed by cheating, ain't gonna ever learn
Everybody walking around
Everybody trying to step on their Creator
Don't matter where you are, everybody, everybody gonna
Need some kind of ventilator, some kind of ventilator
What you gonna do about it?
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do about it?
What you gonna do?
Gonna fight it?
Gonna fight it?
Gonna fight it?
Gonna fight it?
