lyrics

BLACK CRACKER

Me and this girl was talkin’ loud
About America stickin’ out of reach
As if history turned a page
With opportunity all the rage it seemed

Well, everybody she knows is tight
And in recovery for the night and day
But they’ll be serving a world at war
About a minute and nothing more to say

And every morning before the sun
Before reality has begun in bars
Take a number and get in line
For a day of what’s yours and mine and ours

When I’m bored I can’t be bored with you
(Black cracker, black cracker Oooo)
When I’m blown I can’t be blown in two
(Black cracker, black cracker Oooo)
When I wonder what I wouldn’t do
(Black cracker, black cracker Oooo)
I will wait in single file for you
(Black cracker, black cracker Oooo)

When I’m bored I can’t be bored with you
When I’m blown I can’t be blown in two
When I wonder what I wouldn’t do
I will wait in single file for you

Me and this girl was talkin’ loud
About America stickin’ out of reach
As if history turned a page
With opportunity all the rage it seemed

Well, everybody she knows is tight
And in recovery for the night and day
But they’ll be serving a world at war
About a minute and nothing more to say

When I’m bored I can’t be bored with you
(Black cracker, black cracker Oooo)
When I’m blown I can’t be blown in two
(Black cracker, black cracker Oooo)
When I wonder what I wouldn’t do
(Black cracker, black cracker Oooo)
I will wait in single file for you
(Black cracker, black cracker Oooo)

And every morning before the sun
Before reality has begun in bars
Take a number and get in line
For a day of what’s yours and mine and ours
