I've got a bone to pick
with a man named sam
his voice rings loud and clear
all across this land
but I'm gonna drive him down
His bells and whistles rings
the sound, it's deafening
he's calling all to bring
he's calling all to sing
but I'm gonna drive him down
I'm gonna drive him down
He put a price and tag
on every man and child
till their minds and souls
had all been defiled
but I'm gonna drive him down
It's your number and name
that he's whispering
for your mind and souls
which he's beckoning
but I'm gonna drive him down
I'm gonna drive him down
If you're only willing
keep your eyes from watching
keep your ears from hearing
keep your mind from listening
I'm gonna drive him down
It's that rhythm beating
It's a siren singing
It's been in the scheming
And you can hear it if you're listening
I'm gonna drive him down
I work at the Supermarket
And when I get off
I'll shoot my rockets
at the passers by
and the billboard signs
I live in a big apartment
but when I get home
I'll sit and park it
with a beer on the side
and news on channel 5
But when I get home
I'll pour myself a drink
Pour and swallow
till my breath stinks
when I get home
I'll drink myself to sleep
Pour and swallow
till I can't think
When I was 5 years old
I grew up doin just as I was told
with the crosswalk signs
and billboards in the sky
Now I'm 49 years dead
And the hair is fallin out the back of my head
with no regard
for my muscle car
But when I get home
I'll pour myself a drink
Pour and swallow
till my breath stinks
when I get home
I'll drink myself to sleep
Pour and swallow
till I can't think
And I can sing you a song
about how my ideals got spent
on a cold six pack
and last month's rent
about
