Spirit Of ’76 Lyrics by GogoPilot

Mañana, Mon Frère

2007

Some folks were born to suffer
Others can’t buy misery
When you’re down on your luck and you don’t give a fuck
'Cause life ain’t what they said it would be
Well, I've got a bottle of problems
I've got a head full of venom and piss
Well, I graduated, then my glory faded
With the spirit of ‘76
Well, I heard she moved to Chicago
She got married and now she is rich
And maybe I should have followed her there
When things got too broken to fix
Now, some men wеre born to work hard and die
And others to sеrve god and prey
Well, I made a deal with the devil
When I chose to treat her that way
Well, I heard she lives in a castle
With gargoyles and knights at the gate
And maybe I should have apologized
When I took my hand to her face
Well, Houston’s a long way from Memphis
And Memphis is too far from me
Nashville is south of Chicago
And Texas is nowhere to be
Stuck
My daddy voted for Nixon
They laid him to rest with his flag and his gun
Mama said work hard and pray, give thanks every day
Don’t let the night run away with the sun
Well, I’m going to live in a palace
In a kingdom of glory and peace
You left me here, now I'm stuck in low gear
With the spirit of ‘76
You left me behind now I’m doing hard time
With the spirit of nineteen hundred and seventy six
