Ask Somebody Who Ain't (If You Think the System's Workin'...)

She walked in Krystal's I was getting some grub from my cousin Jason at the drive-through window They was wrong with the order so I went inside I saw a woman about thirty-five trying to apply She had three children She said two girls that were beautiful twins And a boy name Ian, y'all Opportunities rare and the money was low She was down with that ramen noodle-type show Sorta like a college student Lord She had this smile y'all That would fill the world with happiness and joy For anyone that could bring it outta her Where's her man or at least her five other children Those were questions I felt like asking but I was afraid to know the answer She never planned for things to ever go that way If you think the system's working - ask somebody who ain't If you think the system's working - ask somebody who ain't Ask somebody who ain't Ask somebody who ain't Ask somebody who ain't She pulled her bootstraps But her boots were torn and her feet were worn out from all the bullcrap This country promised her the pursuit of happiness Maverick bombs and other plans for pacifists Can you take a joke? And all those things gotta try to defend our entire country from corruption with the words of Thomas Jefferson She never planned for things to ever go that way If you think the system's working - ask somebody who ain't Ask somebody who ain't Ask somebody who ain't Ask somebody who ain't Ask somebody who ain't Ask somebody who ain't Ask somebody who ain't Ask somebody...
