Inflation Blues - B.B. King (雷利·金)[00:00:00]
Hey Mr. President[00:00:47]
All your congressmen, too[00:00:50]
You got me frustrated[00:00:53]
And I don't know what to do[00:00:55]
I'm trying to make a living[00:00:59]
I can't save a cent[00:01:01]
It takes all of my money[00:01:04]
Just to eat and pay my rent[00:01:06]
I got the blues[00:01:09]
Got those inflation blues[00:01:13]
You know, I'm not one[00:01:20]
Of those high brows[00:01:22]
I'm average Joe to you[00:01:24]
I came up eating cornbread[00:01:27]
Candied yams and chicken stew[00:01:29]
Now you take that paper dollar[00:01:33]
It's only that in name[00:01:36]
The way that buck has shrunk[00:01:38]
It's a lowdown dirty shame[00:01:40]
That's why I got the blues[00:01:44]
Got those inflation blues[00:01:48]
Mr. President Please cut the price of sugar[00:03:01]
I wanna make my coffee sweet[00:03:05]
I wanna smear some butter on my bread[00:03:08]
And I just got to have my meat[00:03:10]
When you start rationing[00:03:14]
You really played the game[00:03:16]
And things are going up[00:03:19]
And up and up and up[00:03:20]
And my check remains the same[00:03:22]
That's why I got the blues[00:03:24]
Got those inflation blues[00:03:26]
