Liz Green - Bad Medicine lyrics

Well, the words of an old blues man

they're always in time with his soul.

Though his face be cracked and worn

like age old summer soil.

You know he gave you his hand

So you would lift him off that ground

But no one wants a hand that's rough to touch

For the shit that's been carrying around.

And every man wants more than he ever did before

He still got no way out, we've got no way out

No way out, we've got no way out of this!

Well, he walked through town like a Bible prophet

Knows he owns it all.. but sometimes he doesn't

Bother, no sometimes he doesn't bother

Lord well he knows the dark hearts of men

And he's been there before

He won't go there again, no he won't go there again!

For every man wants more than he ever did before

He still got no way out, we've got no way out

No way out, we've got no way out of this!

Chorus:

So if my eyes turn black and my teeth fall out

And my hair is caught up in rags

Don't give me none of that medicine

Cause I'll spit it right back out!

Well, he tried so hard to fit in

But he never really got a chance

Before he spoke, they burnt him, cut him, roped him

And finally put him in the ground.

He said I've been through war,

And I've been through law

And I've climbed that hill so cold

Yeah, I've been through more than you'd ever know

Still they never let me go!

And every man wants more than he ever did before

We still got no way out, we've got no way out

No way out, we've got no way out of this.

Chorus:

So if my eyes turn black and my teeth fall out

And my hair is caught up in rags

Don't give me none of that medicine

Cause I'll spit it right back out!

I will spit it back, I will spit it right

I will spit it right back out!

I will spit it back, I will spit it right

I will spit it right back out!

I will spit it back, I will spit it right

I will spit it right back out!
