Lyrics

That young lady there
With the legs and the hair
Well she's cheated on this since day one
Them damn crooked judges
Allowed all their fudges
Pretending they ain't seen 'em done
Furs burn, this ain't fair
I'll tear her hair out, I don't care
I'm weary and my neck's got cricks
No more out me politics
Now me and Don are rednecks
But we ain't no goddamned hicks
It's a fix
It's all a fix
I seen it everywhere
Everywhere
I went down to SNAP
Tried to get me some food stamps
Down to my very last quarter
They gave me some crap
We was living too frail
We was living on popcorn and water
And those people in health care
Hell, they're 0 for 2 there
You're sick? We don't care
Lie in bed
They turned mama down
Pre-existing conditions
Yeah, she was old
Now she's dead
Everywhere you go
It's all the same
We're just pawns in your crooked game
The little ones get cheated
And who's to blame?
Just dirty little minds
Playing dirty little tricks
Ah, it's a fix
It's a fix
All y'all know I ain't no liar
In where there's smoke there's fire
Y'all done slipped up that's competed
And I should know because I cheated
I'm just one more fool that's cheated
My sunglasses were slipping off my nose
And I took my hand off by mistake
That's right, I messed up
At least I had fessed up
Though nobody saw my hand wrong
I could have won it
But God seen I done it
So goddamn it
I'm going home
I'm going home
You sad to see your wife give up?
She ain't giving up
She's standing up
I leave with nothing
But I got my pride
At least I was honest
And I told a lie
The whole world's crooked
And then once you've died
You even got to bribe the boatman
At the River Styx
Ah, it's a fix
It's a fix
It's a fix
