Southland Street
Henry was a man of steel He built his cars in twos and fours With a Motown sort of soulful feel And phatter than before
Back home to Henrietta Kiss the kids, the kids would let him Champaign soup and dancing lessons Dizzy on the floor
Refrain: They had it all til it all went south to Southland St. They had it all til it all went headin' south Hammer fall and strike the steel and bend the beat They had it all til it all went headin' south
The factory was made of gold And all the workers loved him so And thirteen hour days are slow But they kept the children fed
Every year at Christmas time He'd send em home with pork and wine So sound the horn and ring the chimes It's Christmas time again
Refrain
A breakthrough at the factory They built a car from subsidies It was fast and it was duty-free And -- sssshhhhhhww -- right out the door
They called them days the Golden Years They cried them big old golden tears 更多更詳盡歌詞 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網 Til the kickbacks kicked their golden rears Cause the border ain't no more now
Refrain
So they packed their bags for Southland Street Where the water's brown, the air is cheap And the workers work for refried beans It's the waste of all wastelands
But that don't mean they give a damn They'll build them big old ass sedans And say: “Screw it, cause the master plan says: Catch us if you can!”
Refrain
So they threw themselves a big parade They were flyin' flags and gettin' laid Cause the peso makes an easy trade Just freedom for a feast
Til who came crashing through the door It was dancin' dervishes galore It was the Indians and banking whores Saying: “Come on to the East!”
Refrain: They had it all til it all went south to Southland St. They had it all til it all went headin' south Hammer fall and strike the steel and bend the beat They had it all til it all went headin' . . . east
