Uncle Tupelo - Sauget Wind lyrics

rate me

It's a long way to heaven

It's a short way to hell

Painkillers won't help

When the weight's not yourself

They're poisoning the air

For personal wealth

It's a long way to heaven

It's a short way to hell

I don't know what I'm breathing for

'Cause the air around here ain't so good anymore

The weatherman says "fair"

But he looks like a lie

Nothing's free in this country

And there's no place to hide....no more

Industrial wind

It blows from the west

It'll burn out your eyes

And suck out your breath

It's waiting in the wings

For damage down the line

Save your tears for the soaps

Leave your money behind

I don't know what I'm breathing for

'Cause the air around here ain't so good anymore

The weatherman says "fair"

But he looks like a lie

Nothing's free in this country

And there's no place to hide no more

No place to hide....no more
