Meanest Man lyrics translation: BILLY BRAGG Meanest Man song texte and letras BILLY BRAGG Meanest Man tab, paroles and testo BILLY BRAGG Meanest Man Karaoke and Music Video - none yet
If the folks next door to me wasn`t so good
I`d do all the mean things anybody could
I`d drink and i`d gamble and i`d louse around
I`d be the meanest man in this whole town
If i hadn`t seen the light in that old lady`s eyes
I`d try to be a man that you would hate and despise
I`d rave and i`d rant and i`d scream and yell
And i`d chase all my neighbours from here to hell
If i hadn`t heard those kids laugh playing games
I`d have nervous fits and i`d go insane
I`d turpentine cats and tin can dogs
And i`d smother people to death inside of holler logs
If the people around me wasn`t so nice
I`d freeze my heart into a cake of ice
I`d steal money from soldiers and working folks too
I`d lend you a dollar and take back two
If my wife didn`t kiss me the way she does
I`d carry four or five daggers and three or four guns
I`d shoot craps and ramble and hang out late
And i`d steal baby buggies and cadillac eights
If my friends didn`t write me those letters i get
I`d get to be a dictator and be the worse one yet
I`d be the only smart bird and you`d all be fools
All i`d send you all away to war and i`d set home and rule
If it wasn`t for them songs i hear all of you sing
I`d put a crown on my dome and i`d say i`m your king
I`d kidnap some and blackmail others
I`d peddle black market stuff and rob sisters and brothers
If it wasn`t for your talking i hear along the street
I`d be the oneriest man that you ever did meet
I`d preach the gospel of hate and i`d drink your blood
But i can`t be this bad because my folks are too good
