lirik lagu stan ridgway – afghan-forklift
ringin’ on the telephone, pick it up and say
what’s a man to do with all the trouble ’round today?
heard it takes a worried man to sing a worried song
sing it now, but lord, don’t let it all go on too long
chorus:
somethin’ in the air, and it’s movin’ like a southbound train
sun is goin’ down, and it seems like i’ll be the same
world keeps spinnin’ ’round, people say there’s debt to pay
i don’t knowtoo busy with my life from day to day
but whosoever journeys up against that border line
the shadows of an ancient flame burn away in time
i was down in arkansas, workin’ graveyard shift
movin’ crates for exportation with a big forklift
most were crackers, coca-cola, shoes and ceiling fans
two were marked top secret, headed for afghanistan
chorus repeat
see shadows on the sun, see a comin’ thundercloud
nothin’ will persuade, but all will be allowed
and some will seek their god from a heaven in the sky
defendin’ their affliction with a holy alibi
ringin’ on the telephone, pick it up and say
what’s a man to do with all the trouble ’round today?
i’m callin’ up the president, ask him what he say
no answer, left a message, when he’s back from holiday
chorus repeat
now the drums are poundin’, hear them blowin’ on the h-rn
two hands are on the hammer, and the fabric has been torn
dam’s about to burst, floods are all around
no more water, little sylvie, ’cause i think i’m gonna drown
ringin’ on the telephone, pick it up and say
what’s a man to do with all the trouble ’round today?
heard it takes a worried man to sing a worried song
sing it now, but lord, don’t make it all go on too long
all go on too long
