Hell

by Seasick Steve

Lyrics
Now some people think that they deserve it
They think they're above us, they think they earned it
They think their money will make 'em smart
But I wonder what it does to their heart
That's what I wonder
Hey hey

Politicians and bankers, it's all the same
They all belong to this little club, big business is its name
And big business belongs to that club too
Just not me and you
Hey hey

They make these decisions for us 'cause they know best
And if you believe that I got another test
I got this bridge over in Brooklyn I've been trying to sell
And sometimes I wish the world's a hell

Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey

Now all these wars, ain't it just about money?
They expect us to go along like a bunch of crash dummies
Power, money, religion dancing on our heads
But someone gotta stick around to bury the dead

The dead
The dead
The dead
The dead

Oh, heaven knows that

Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey

Now sometimes I just wanna fly away
Or to another world that's not so insane
Where everybody respects one another
And where we really are sisters and brothers

You think I'm naive? Well
I only got one more thing to say

To all you power people think you're hidden away
Maybe we'll meet someday, who can tell?
Maybe there really is a place called hell

Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey

Oh, heaven knows that

No one would have to know that but you
Our people
All of us
That's right

Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey

Come on now
You know what I'm talking about
Yeah
I'm pointing my finger
I'm pointing my finger
At you
At you
At you
You know what I'm talking about
That's what I'm talking about

Come on now
Come on, baby
Come on, baby
