Bottle Rockets - Welfare Music
G C
Quit school when she was seventeen
G D
Senator on TV calls her welfare Queen
Em G
Used to be daddy's little girl
Em C D G
Now she needs help in this mean old world
G C
Buys cassette tapes in the bargain bin
G D
Loves Carlene Carter and Loretta Lynn
Em G
Tries to have fun on a Saturday night
Em C D G
sunday morning don't shine to bright
G C
It's welfare music
G D
Watch the baby dance
Em G
To the welfare music
Em D G
Will she ever stand a chance
Takes two to make three but ones ain't here
Still chasing women and drinking beer
Says nobody understands how he feels
But that don't pay those monthly bills
Angry fat man on the radio
Wants to keep his taxes way down low
Says there ought to be a law
Angriest man that you ever saw
Chorus
Baby dance circles on the floor
Around and round just like before
Baby fall down baby get up
Baby needs a drink from a loving cup
Chorus
