THE BROKEDOWNS LYRICS

"Born On The Bayou Too"

Why are we broke in the freezing cold
We should be broke in the sand?
You don’t deserve this film on the windows
And I deserve a brand new tan
Let’s melt our ice scrapers into pitchers
And pour out a better plan
No point freezing in this cold grey hell
When piss poor paradise is out of our hands
A cardboard box on Diversey or a cardboard box in Milan

We don’t have to work, we don’t have to bend
Just make a decent home from a castle made of sand
We don’t have to worry, we don’t have to plan
Just take it as it comes until we turn to sand

I looked into Montpellier, Le Havre Bordeaux, and Cannes
But I know merci beaucoup, as much French as you
That’s not enough for us to understand
I looked into the Middle East and a nice stretch of Haitian land
But a Burka won’t suit you and I can’t do voodoo
It just don’t jive with our plans
But a cardboard box in Port Au Prince
Or a cardboard box in Iran

We don’t have to work, we don’t have to bend
Just make a decent home, from a castle made of sand
We don’t have to worry, we don’t have to plan
Just take it as it comes until we turn to sand
