Inflation Blues-B.B. King

[00:46.62]Hey Mr. President
[00:49.06]All your congressmen, too
[00:52.13]You got me frustrated
[00:54.64]And I don't know what to do
[00:58.09]I'm trying to make a living
[01:00.27]I can't save a cent
[01:03.12]It takes all of my money
[01:05.97]Just to eat and pay my rent
[01:08.66]I got the blues
[01:11.19]Got those inflation blues
[01:18.81]You know, I'm not one
[01:21.55]Of those high brows
[01:23.64]I'm average Joe to you
[01:26.06]I came up eating cornbread
[01:28.62]Candied yams and chicken stew
[01:31.69]Now you take that paper dollar
[01:34.26]It's only that in name
[01:36.85]The way that buck has shrunk
[01:39.31]It's a lowdown dirty shame
[01:42.45]That's why I got the blues
[01:45.49]Got those inflation blues
[01:55.17]
[03:00.19]Mr. President Please cut the price of sugar
[03:02.94]I wanna make my coffee sweet
[03:05.80]I wanna smear some butter on my bread
[03:09.01]And I just got to have my meat
[03:12.74]When you start rationing
[03:15.69]You really played the game
[03:17.88]And things are going up
[03:19.68]And up and up and up
[03:20.91]And my check remains the same
[03:25.23]That's why I got the blues
[03:50.79]
