Richard Dimples Fields - If It Ain't One Thing It's Another lyrics
rate meI'm making this song for all the people who at times in their lives feel bad<br />
You know when you feel like even your blues have blues<br />
<br />
If it ain't one thing it's another<br />
If it ain't one thing it's another<br />
<br />
It's a crazy mixed up world, it's a dog eat dog world<br />
Life is full strife, people just aren't nice<br />
Everybody's talking smack, Running games on this and that<br />
Racial resenment adds to this contentment<br />
Talk to any guy he'll tell you taxes are too high<br />
Books movies are corrupt, suicide is way up<br />
Kids are a sorry lot, some folks say it's kind of pot<br />
Phoney ego trips, everyone has flipped<br />
<br />
If it ain't one thing it's another<br />
If it ain't one thing it's another<br />
<br />
Everybody's shacking up, married folks are packing up<br />
Country's going up in smoke, Where is Noah with his boat<br />
Blacks marching on DC, 400 years still not free<br />
Martin paid all a man can pay, still he's not a holiday<br />
Folks messing with my mind, make me Frankenstein<br />
This woman by my side, she's Dr. Jeckyl Mr. Hyde<br />
Can't get my head on right, problems day and night<br />
Try to calm my nerves I've tried smoke, Doctors give me dope to cope<br />
<br />
If it ain't one thing it's another<br />
If it ain't one thing it's another<br />
If it ain't one thing it's another<br />
<br />
My funky two bit job went on strike<br />
I've put up with a lot of crap I don't like<br />
And to add to my woes, this ugly woman named Sadie called and said she's having my baby<br />
Go have mercy<br />
<br />
From my day of birth I've called hell on earth<br />
A number is all I am, ain't got no frills don't give a... <br />
If you don't got no pull, you've got to put up with a lot of bull<br />
This funky world is cold, I oughta flush myself down the... <br />
<br />
If it ain't one thing it's another<br />
If it ain't one thing it's another<br />
If it ain't one thing it's another<br />
If it ain't one thing it's another<br />
<br />
My friends, I wonder if it's ok if I talk to you this evening<br />
A long time ago my old grandmother bless her heart<br />
Used to sit me on her knee and pull out her Good Book, <br />
And she said my son, my child, don't you ever get to grown, to famous, to rich to forget the man upstairs<br />
And she used to turn to Matthew chapter 24, and there the disciples would talking to the master<br />
And they said Lord tell us what will be the sign of your coming<br />
And the end to all this confusion on Earth<br />
And the Good Lord said, my children watch out that nobody deceive you<br />
For the last days, there'll be lots of tribulation, wars, and famines<br />
And earthquakes on different places on the Earth<br />
And there will be no understanding among the people of the Earth<br />
He said but as you see these things occuring, <br />
Don't become too discouraged, just lift yours head up high<br />
Because your deliverence is getting nearer<br />
And he spoke about the proclamation about coming kingdom or goverment of god<br />
That will eventually take over this Earth and rule over the whole Earth<br />
And turning to Daniel chapter two, <br />
And there Daniel describes that this kingdom won't be an earthly kingdom<br />
But it will be ruled by God<br />
Note in the book of Revelations it talks<br />
About how there will be a man who'll be Jesus<br />
And whose faithful 144, 000 who would bring all of mankind back to perfection<br />
Aw, somebody out there knows exactly what I'm talking about<br />
Issiah, Issiah, a long time ago said I see old people growing young again<br />
I see lame people running and leaping just like a gazeelle<br />
And blind people will see again<br />
And we won't have to worry about our children going out to play at night<br />
They'll be able to play with a snake, brotherhood<br />
There'll be brotherhood and peace and tranqulaity on the earth<br />
Aw it makes me feel good when I read over in Revelations<br />
That it say God would wipe out every tear from my eyes<br />
Yeah that's in Revelations chapter 21, <br />
Why don't you pick up a Good Book and read all about it for yourselves<br />
And my friends I don't know if I'll ever see you again<br />
Life is certainly uncertain these days<br />
I'm sure you'll agree to that<br />
But keep dreaming the big dream<br />
Get down on your knees and ask the big guy in the sky for his spirit to sustain you<br />
And pray for me, I'll be praying for you.
