American Backslide - Garland Jeffrey[00:00:06]

How does it feel[00:00:10]

In the morning shower[00:00:12]

Will the great decision[00:00:14]

Come before lunch hour[00:00:16]

From the ivory tower[00:00:18]

Like a proclamation[00:00:20]

Who'll be the next to go[00:00:22]

How does it feel[00:00:28]

When you got no power[00:00:29]

And your fate is shaky[00:00:32]

Like your destination[00:00:34]

And your future's empty[00:00:36]

Full of just frustration[00:00:38]

And you're searching high and low[00:00:40]

One o'clock jump one o'clock jump[00:00:45]

One o'clock jump one o'clock jump[00:00:54]

How does it feel[00:01:03]

When you got no job[00:01:04]

And you got three kids[00:01:07]

Nothin' much to eat[00:01:09]

And you steal and you rob[00:01:11]

Just to make ends meet[00:01:13]

And you can't even stand on your own two feet[00:01:15]

How does it feel[00:01:20]

When your favorite player[00:01:22]

Has been bought and sold[00:01:24]

Before he gets too old[00:01:26]

Leave him out in the cold[00:01:29]

With a pension and a plaque[00:01:31]

And a drug addiction for his sacroiliac[00:01:33]

One o'clock jump one o'clock jump[00:01:38]

One o'clock jump one o'clock jump[00:01:46]

How does it feel[00:02:30]

When you're driving around[00:02:32]

In your automobile[00:02:34]

And they tell you it's real[00:02:36]

On your radio[00:02:39]

That they're makin' a deal[00:02:41]

But you know in your heart it's a dirty deal[00:02:43]

How does it feel[00:02:48]

When everything you say[00:02:50]

Seems to wash away[00:02:52]

And is twisted like clay[00:02:54]

And you stammer and you stutter[00:02:56]

Every word you mutter[00:02:58]

Like an echo in the dark[00:03:00]

Is so ineffective[00:03:02]

One o'clock jump one o'clock jump[00:03:05]

One o'clock jump one o'clock jump[00:03:14]

30 seconds 'fore the big strike[00:03:33]

No one's riding down the turnpike[00:03:37]

Everything is turning ghostlike[00:03:42]

60 minutes after midnite[00:03:46]
