lirik lagu leon copeland - welfare cadillac (2021 remaster)
[verse 1]
well, i’ve never worked much
in fact, i’ve been poor all my life
i guess i really own is
ten kids and a wife
this house that i live in is mine, but
it’s really a shack
but i always manage somehow to
drive me a brand new cadillac
[verse 2]
the back steps, they done fell plum down
front screen’s off
and laying somewhere out there on the ground
wind just now blew another piece of that old tar roofing off the back
sure hope it don’t skin up that new cadillac
[verse 3]
front porch fell loose at the bottom
don’t makе much sense to fix it though, ’cause
thе floor’s just too darn rotten
wintertime come, we sometime have some snow blow in through the cracks
but if gets too bad, we just all pile up and
sleep in that new cadillac
[verse 4]
now i know the place ain’t much and i
i sure don’t pay no rent
i get a check the first of every month
from this here federal government
and every wednesday, i get commodities, why
sometimes, four or five sacks
pick them up down at the welfare office
driving this new cadillac
[verse 5]
now some folks think i’m crazy
i’ve been called a fool
but my kids get free books and all them free lunches
down there at school
we get peanut b~tter and cheese
man, they give us flour by the sack
course them welfare checks
make the payments on this new cadillac
[verse 6]
now the way that i see it, these other folks are the fools
they’re working and paying taxes
just to send my youngins through school
salvation army cuts their hair and gives us the clothes we wear on our backs
so we can dress up and ride around and show off this here new cadillac
[verse 7]
but things are gonna get s— better yet
at least that’s what i understand
they tell me this here new president
put in a whole new poverty plan
well, he’s gonna give us poor folks money
they say he’s gonna send it down here in sacks
in fact, my wife’s out
shopping around right now for her new cadillac
