Look what they done to my song, ma
Look what they done to my song
Well, it's the only thing
I could do half right
And it's turning out all wrong, ma
Look what they done to my song
Look what they done to my brain, ma
Look what they done to my brain
Well, they picked it like a chicken bone
And i think i'm half insane, ma
Look what they done to my song
I wish i could find a good book to live in
Wish i could find a good book
Well, if i could find a real good book
I'd never have to come out and look
At what they done to my song
But maybe it'll all be alright, ma
Maybe it'll all be o.k
Well, if the people are buying tears
I'll be rich someday, ma
Look what they done to my song
Look what they done to my song, ma
Look what they done to my song
Well, they tied it up in a plastic bag
And turned it upside down, ma
Look what they done to my song
Look what they done to my song, ma
Look what they done to my song
It's the only thing
I could do alright
And they turned it upside down
Look what they done to my song
