"Kool-Aid" lyrics
"Kool-Aid"
When I'm near to you I'm nearly poor and that's new to me
You built me up, then you brought me down secretly
I was for you body and soul, now I'm trapped in a deep hold
Kool-Aid, I drank the Kool-Aid
You said the poor were closing in and I had to leave
The war on them was a righteous thing and I believed
With my gun, I took a stand against black, brown, yellow, and tan
Kool-Aid, I drank your Kool-Aid
But the day came when I found my little job was gone
Now how 'm I supposed to tell my little wife at home
Because she thinks that you will make everything all right
But she's over there asleep and I'm smoking menthol cigarettes all night
Kool-Aid all around my brain
What shall I do? Help me, please, 'cause I can't change
I have no hope, I could be wrong
But all I got is just about gone
Kool-Aid, I drank you Kool-Aid
Kool-Aid, all your cool Kool-Aid
I really did

We just stood there...

I just need some place where I can lay my head

The Jayhawks - "Bad Time" I'm in love with the girl that I'm talking about
I'm in love with the girl that I can't live without
I'm in love but I sure picked a bad time
To be in love, to be in love.
Let her be somebody else's...
John Hiatt - "Riding With The King" I dreamed I did a good job and I got well paid
Blew it all at the penny arcade
A hundred dollars on a kewpie doll
I guess no white chick is gonna make me crawl
On a TWA, to the promised land
