JED
WHEN OLD JED CLAMPET SHOT A HOLE IN THE GROUND
WHAT BUBBLE UP HELP MAKE DA WORLD GO ROUND
NOW THERE AIN’T NO EASY MONEY IN THE U.S.A.
EVERYDAY SOMEBODY’S SHAKING THEIR FIST
IN ANGER, DEFIANCE OR A TEARFUL WISH
IT THROWS A CLOUD OVER THE LAND
AND SETTLES ONTO THE CHILDREN’S HANDS
WHO OOH OOH
WHO CAN YOU TRUST IT’S HARD TO TELL
WHEN YOU HAVE INVOLVEMENTS OF O.I.L.
NO MOTHER WAS MEANT TO CARRY THIS WEIGHT
FROM THE GARDEN OF EDEN GREW A MILLION SNAKE
OOH OOH OOH
WHEN OLD JED CLAMPET SHOT A HOLE IN THE GROUND
WHAT BUBBLE UP HELP MAKE DA WORLD GO ROUND
NOW THERE AIN’T NO EASY MONEY IN THE U.S.A.
SO WE DIG A LITTLE DEEPER OR WE SHAVE OFF THE TOP
BURN THAT DIESEL TO SQUEEZE THE ROCK
WHILE UNDER OUR NOSE SLIPS AN OILY BLACK CAT
BOUT TO JUMP UP AND TURN TO A MONKEY ON OUR BACK.
WERE AT WAR WITH CHINA BUT NOBODY SEES
THEY WANT TO BE LIKE US GOT THE SAME DISEASE
ONCE YOU TASTE THAT SUGAR YOU NEVER GO BACK
CLIMB THE LATTER JUST TO FALL INTO THE STACK
OOH OOH OOH
WE GOT DRUNK TANKS AND THINK TANKS THEY ALL THE SAME
FUTURE SHOCK IS HERE AND IT’S GONNA REMAIN
FROM A HORSE AND BUGGY TO THE MOON
WE JUST GOT THERE WAY TO SOON, AFTER
CHORUS
I DRIVE MY CAR MOST EVERYDAY
I’M PART OF THE PROBLEM CAN’T GET OUT OF MY WAY
STARTED AS A TEEN WITH THE RUBBER I BURNED
FROM THE PEOPLE I WATCHED AND THE LESSONS I LEARNED
