Union Songs
$300,000 blues
A Song by Martin Cubby©Martin Cubby2009
- [play]
I've got the three hundred thousand dollar blues
I've got a lifestyle I'm so scared to lose
Got that mortgage belt and it's gettin' tight
So much so I can't sleep at night
I've got the three hundred thousand dollar blues.
I've got so much stuff, none of it I own
It's on the credit card and I need another loan
I've go those two kids with those private school fees
Just so they can be educated all about this life of greed
I've got the three hundred thousand dollar blues…
The TV news tells me what to think
My wife loves shopping, I love beer
It dulls my mind when the truth is clear
So I keep a doin' what I'm told
Cause the truth makes me shiver in that truthful cold
I've got the three hundred thousand dollar blues…
So let's keep everything the same as it was
Like the 1950's with the internet on
Let's keep makin' money while we can
Keep sellin' coal to China and Japan
Ket's keep makin' money, ohhh as much money as we can
I've got the three hundred thousand dollar blues…
