lyrics

ENOUGH

Won’t you tell me why the rich get richer
And the poor still sleep in the street
Why the working class gotta bring home a pay check just to eat
And nobody wants to speak out
For fear of losing what little they got
Everybody knows you don’t get to the top talkin’ shit to the boss

Won’t you tell me why the politicians are puppets on a string
You wanna find the man behind the curtain gotta follow money
‘Cause black is white and left is right
And might ain’t never been wrong
Well I heard it all before in a Woody Guthrie song

You can call me crazy
Tell me I’m outta touch
But don’t tell me we got it easy
‘Cause I do believe I’ve had enough

Won’t you tell me they push the pills
And cast a shadow on the weed
‘Cause a chemical is what they need
If they wanna make that money
So trail the sky, spike the water with fluoride
I thought I told you son no one gets out of here alive

You can call me crazy
Tell me I’m outta touch
But don’t tell me we got it easy
‘Cause I do believe I’ve had enough

I was born American and Texas is my home
And I’ll be damned if I’ll sit around and watch it go up in smoke
‘Cause in the home of the brave
And what’s left in the land of the free
They’ll be some good ol’ boys waiting for ya
'Hind every big oak tree
