Travis Lyrics - Singles - Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine

I'm not a racist but I am 

I served my time in Vietnam 

I've got three jobs, this is one 

Sometimes I wish that I'd kept my gun 

This country's going down the tubes 

I can't afford to pay my dues 

Unless you've got some sponsorship 

For Christ sakes, buddy 

Don't get sick 

Don't grow old 

Don't be poor 

Do what you're told 

Yeah, are you from Europe? 

Well so am I, I came here in 1955 

Half American, half asleep 

Same day a rain will came 

And wash the streets 

The CIA, the KGB 

It's all the same conspiracy 

The whole damn country's on the skids 

You better tell your kids 

Don't get sick 

Don't grow old 

Don't be poor 

Or underprivileged 

Do exactly what you're told 

Keep the meter running 

Until we reach our destination 

The grim reaper isn't coming 

He's been otherwise detained 

With apocalypse practice 

And his other occupation 

Behind the wheel of his taxi cab 

Thats driving me insane 

They took 4,000 headers on a bus ride 

Left 'em dribbling at the seaside 

Where the sun would keep them warm 

Give a guy a uniform 

They live out on the freeway now 

Theyre waiting till your car breaks down 

Don't take the American dream to bed 

One of these days you'll wake up dead
