Rodney Crowell - Obscenity Prayer (give It To Me) lyrics

rate me

Give to me my time and money

Give to me my milk and honey

Give to me my self respect

Golden chains around my neck

Give to me my super model

Corporate jet and champagne bottle

Get me out there on the town

Let me spread my wealth around

I could learn to love this life I lead

But just don?t take away the things I need

I feel rosy in the pink

So just don?t make me stop and think

All those dark thoughts in my head

Seem like better left unsaid

Give it to me

(Give it, give it, give it, give it)

Give it to me

(Give it, give it, give it, give it)

Give it to me

(Give it, give it, give it, give it)

(Give it, give it, give it, give it)

Give to me my latest fashion

Make my lover burn with passion

Give to me my charm and wit

Keep my body young and fit

Give to me my haute couture

Give the world a cancer cure

Serve my breakfast au frescoe

Let the wine and liquor flow

I can search for truth some other time

But right now I just wanna get what's mine

Let the gangsters rule the street

While teachers try to make ends meet

I despise all bleeding hearts

I don?t patronize the arts

Give it to me

(Give it, give it, give it, give it)

Give it to me

(Give it, give it, give it, give it)

Give it to me

(Give it, give it, give it, give it)

Right now

I don't understand what it is you're trying to sell

Or what it is you're trying to tell me

You're tryin' to get me to show some compassion

Man, that's so outta fashion

Give to me my Aspen winter

Sorry 'bout the World Trade Center

I can?t help the ones in need

I?ve got my own mouth to feed

Give to me my Playboy Channel

Killer weed and sheets of flannel

Lay me down upon my bed

With pleasant dreams to fill my head

Just look at what this world is coming to

And there ain?t one damn thing that I can do

I don?t have a leg to stand on

I don?t have a net to land on

I don?t have the base of power

I don?t have the extra hour

Give it to me

(Give it, give it, give it, give it)

Give it to me

(Give it, give it, give it, give it)

Give it to me right now

(Give it, give it, give it, give it, give it, give it)

Give to me my tax cut outsource

Build me my own private golf course

The Dixie Chicks can kiss my ass

But I still need that backstage pass

Give to me my Nasdaq numbers

Intel shares and E-trade blunders

Soldiers to defend my freedom

And a script for Valium if I need em?

And give it to me

(Give it, give it, give it, give it)

Give it to me

(Give it, give it, give it, give it)

Give it to me right now

(Give it, give it, give it, give it)
