The Brokedowns - Born On The Bayou Too lyrics

Why are we broke in the freezing cold We should be broke in the sand? You don’t deserve this film on the windows And I deserve a brand new tan Let’s melt our ice scrapers into pitchers And pour out a better plan No point freezing in this cold grey hell When piss poor paradise is out of our hands A cardboard box on Diversey or a cardboard box in Milan We don’t have to work, we don’t have to bend Just make a decent home from a castle made of sand We don’t have to worry, we don’t have to plan Just take it as it comes until we turn to sand I looked into Montpellier, Le Havre Bordeaux, and Cannes But I know merci beaucoup, as much French as you That’s not enough for us to understand I looked into the Middle East and a nice stretch of Haitian land But a Burka won’t suit you and I can’t do voodoo It just don’t jive with our plans But a cardboard box in Port Au Prince Or a cardboard box in Iran We don’t have to work, we don’t have to bend Just make a decent home, from a castle made of sand We don’t have to worry, we don’t have to plan Just take it as it comes until we turn to sand
