Heartbreakers movie - Trade Winds lyrics

rate me

Song by Mason Williams<br /><br>

Dinner's on the table, just beans but no coffee<br>

Fill up on bread 'cos there's no meat and there's no gravy<br>

Daddy says there's no work no work to do my friend<br>

So come on now my children<br>

Off to bed for the light is fading<br>

I don't believe the trade winds blowing will set you free<br>

I do believe the free trade wind is roaring toward you and me<br>

Clever Chinese fingers busy themselves tonight<br>

Working dawn to dusk sun is setting sun is rising<br>

On your land of milk and honey, yes I know it ain't funny<br>

So take it easy in your Cadillac<br>

I only hope it's built to last<br>

I don't believe the trade wind blowing will set you free<br>

I do believe the trade wind roaring is no more than<br>

An icy breeze for you and me -<br>

Do you remember a time when you called out the names<br>

Of those who never seem to give a damn for your flag<br>

Or for your country you blamed the reds you blamed<br>

The unions you blamed the immigrants and Jews<br>

And you'd better run it by a priest<br>

Cos no one cares and no one's listening -<br>

I do believe - I don't believe the trade winds<br>

Are roaring for you and me<br>

<br>
