The Ballad Of The Hulk (LP Version) - Jerry Jeff Walker (杰里·杰夫·沃克)[00:00:00]

The cycle of life is here[00:00:13]

To see in all of its fine simplicity[00:00:14]

But the way we live it seems to be[00:00:17]

Something very weird to me[00:00:19]

And i cry out[00:00:20]

For pettiness like lady's chatter[00:00:25]

Seems to complicate the matter[00:00:27]

I grit my teeth as my senses chatter[00:00:29]

For nothing much makes me madder[00:00:31]

As i leap out[00:00:33]

For big or little great or small[00:00:38]

It really doesn't matter at all[00:00:40]

The way we shuffle our feet and hem[00:00:41]

And haw[00:00:43]

Cause everybody's afraid they'll fall[00:00:44]

Or else be left out[00:00:45]

But what's right for me or strange to you[00:00:50]

Shouldn't make a damn on what you do[00:00:52]

Cause whether or not you make it through[00:00:54]

I thought that you already knew[00:00:56]

That i'll keep you going on[00:00:58]

And the world war iii and the world series[00:01:02]

Will make the same size headlines in the news[00:01:06]

From all i've seen of politics[00:01:24]

It's just a greasy big money stick[00:01:26]

That's geared to run on tongues[00:01:28]

So slick to make you think this is all there is[00:01:30]

Boy you got a pray[00:01:32]

How they con the little middle man[00:01:36]

Into thinkin he has got a hand[00:01:38]

To play in the future of the promised land[00:01:41]

He owes himself to the destiny of man[00:01:43]

Gets ridiculous[00:01:44]

A cheap gangster hires someone[00:01:49]

To do his dirty work with a tommy gun[00:01:51]

While the president just points at anyone[00:01:53]

And says i your country needs some killing done[00:01:55]

Go do it now boy[00:01:57]

The war itself is bad enough[00:02:01]

It can break you down no matter how tough[00:02:03]

But the tragedy of all the hoopla stuff[00:02:06]

It makes you think you can't do enough[00:02:08]

For the shiny symbols[00:02:09]

And the other countries they feel the same as we[00:02:14]

And regret that i have but one country to[00:02:18]

Give for my life[00:02:21]

The preacher stands in his holy shroud sayin[00:02:35]

God forgives you if you do it now[00:02:37]

You come back when the chips are down[00:02:39]

You'll find they've all gone underground[00:02:42]

To pray for you[00:02:43]

A homosexual disturbed priest feels that[00:02:48]

He can preach to me[00:02:50]

The right way to go and raise a family[00:02:52]

And i'm forced to look at him and say[00:02:54]

You're guessin[00:02:56]

The population is getting higher[00:03:00]

The poverty poor the pregnant tired[00:03:03]

Are waiting on the pope to be inspired[00:03:05]

For some new contraceptive attire[00:03:07]

Saying it's cool now[00:03:09]

It's a ghost behind a one way mirror[00:03:13]

Listening tip toed at the door to hear[00:03:15]

If someone outside won't speak the year[00:03:17]

Then they'll slip a note out how they feel[00:03:19]

About pierced ear lobes[00:03:21]

But the rules made now[00:03:25]

For the changing cows[00:03:27]

Are a little late[00:03:30]

And will be out of date by tomorrow[00:03:32]

Her mother placed on virginity[00:03:47]

Saying it was the holy place to be[00:03:49]

For the things boys had were evilry[00:03:51]

When it came time for matrimony[00:03:53]

She froze and died there[00:03:55]

Her sister at fourteen very well known[00:04:00]

Thought all the kicks came lying there prone[00:04:02]

But a fundamental fact not spoken at home[00:04:04]

Left her feeling like a chewed on bone[00:04:06]

And why she wondered[00:04:08]

One chick who dug moving[00:04:12]

About very liberal minded and often[00:04:14]

Spoke out[00:04:15]

How she was cool and understood[00:04:16]

No doubt with[00:04:17]

The blankets up and the lights turned out[00:04:18]

And you're condescending[00:04:21]

A couple together for five or six years[00:04:25]

A marriage license they'd never been near[00:04:27]

But social pressure and loss of job fear[00:04:29]

Got them married and divorced in half[00:04:31]

A year[00:04:32]

They couldn't cut it[00:04:33]

It's all talked about[00:04:37]

But still it's lived around[00:04:39]

And what is right for me[00:04:41]

Could be perversity in any state law book[00:04:43]

I'm told a minstrel at one time[00:04:58]

As allowed to sing and make his rhymes[00:05:01]

To comment on the news of the times[00:05:03]

And say directly what's in people's minds[00:05:05]

And he made tips for it[00:05:06]

But today try saying on some street curb[00:05:11]

Singin the news in everyday words[00:05:13]

The people pass by the laughin is heard[00:05:15]

Or else they hit you where it hurts[00:05:17]

They keep their ears closed[00:05:19]

One man said boy i dig your stuff[00:05:23]

I want you to come play in my club[00:05:25]

I'll put your name in lights up above[00:05:27]

But just remember i got a club to run[00:05:29]

So don't be too strong[00:05:31]

It ain't your writers who sell out[00:05:36]

It's the damn censors who turn about[00:05:38]

My life learned adjectives and vowels[00:05:40]

And say that my mouth is much too foul[00:05:42]

To good speak to you[00:05:44]

But try to hit a nail and if the hammer fails[00:05:48]

Then the words you use to describe[00:05:52]

That bruise is basic language[00:05:55]

I hoboed around and sang the songs[00:06:10]

That everybody knew and hummed along[00:06:11]

To amuse myself i wrote some songs talkin[00:06:13]

About what's right or wrong[00:06:16]

And i'm a little different[00:06:17]

A record company you know well[00:06:22]

Wanted to know[00:06:24]

If my song would sell[00:06:25]

I said yes i like it very well[00:06:26]

If you don't sir you can go to help[00:06:28]

Somebody else change[00:06:30]

So i kept playin and bummin around singin[00:06:34]

To the ones who dug my sound[00:06:37]

Some guys ask won't you play my town[00:06:38]

I ask fair bread they put me down[00:06:40]

Their caddie's mortgaged[00:06:42]

Made one deal like it's you and me[00:06:46]

This guy said he could be of some use to me[00:06:48]

But when i found he's puttin screws to me[00:06:50]

I made it back to the street[00:06:52]

Singin new folk songs[00:06:54]

If there's time enough[00:06:58]

The hill ain't too rough[00:07:00]

What i wrote today[00:07:02]

I might someday play[00:07:05]

And make tips for it[00:07:07]

Oh next next issue of the hulk[00:07:20]
