lyrics

I.O.U.
(H. Smalley)

I'm going crazy
I'm going insane
Can’t make no money
Playing this foolish game
Those politicians threatin' us slaves
I owe you!

I'm going crazy I'm outta' control
Deficit spending rob my body and soul
They keep coming stiff and cold
I owe you!
All this foolish debt

I'm going crazy
I'm outta' my head
I'm so broke my pocket book's dead
Crime is the only way to get ahead
I owe you!

I'm going crazy
I'm outta' contol
They keep coming and taking my dough
Save up my money for when I get old
I owe you!

I'm going crazy this worlds a shame
Death and taxes are to blame
You're nothing without fame
I owe you!

Mister Uncle Sam he's knockin’ on my door
He keeps pounding til’ I give him more
I got nothing I said to him
I owe you!

I need some money, I need a loan
When I went in they told me no
I asked them why? I was told
I owe you!

I OWE YOU!!!!

guitar pyrotechnics, original compositions, dual guitar attack this is anything but your typical re-thrash snooze fest. About as good as modern thrash gets. P.S. cannot emphasize enough that shred factor here is through the roof. If you're into that kind of thing. K. Hungus Lives
