We'll be singing,
When we're winning
We'll be singing

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down

Pissing the night away . . . .

I've been pissing in the wind
I chance a foolish grin
And dribbled on my chin
And now the ground shifts beneath my feet
The faces that I greet never know my name

My lodging it is on the cold ground,
And oh! very hard is my fare,
But that which troubles me most is
The unkindness of my dear.

Please don't bury me down in that cold, cold ground
No I'm gonna have 'em cut me up and pass me all around
Throw my brain in a hurricane and the blind can have my eyes
And the deaf can take both of my ears if they don't mind the size

To continue the theme The Night of the Living Dead

They may kill me Baby, bury me like they do.
My body might lies, but my spirit gonna rise,
...and crawl home to you.
Ain't that lovin' you Baby, and I don't even know your name.


Ain't That Loving You Baby, -Jimmy Reed

You can hold the people down
But the spirit's gonna rise
Rise up and Shine
Put their backs against the wall
You can try to make them crawl
Don't you know that someday
The King's gonna fall.


The King's Gonna Fall
Lyrics by Sheila Burns

And it’s up against the wall redneck mother
Mother who has raised her son so well (so well! so well! so well!).
He’s thirty-four and drinking in them honky-tonks
Just kicking all them hippies’ asses raising hell.


--(Up Against the Wall) Redneck Mother, Ray Wylie Hubbard
(hit 70's recording by Jerry Jeff Walker, also recorded by Kinky Friedman)

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

I was standing by my window
on one cold and cloudy day
when I saw that hearse come rolling
for to carry my mother away

Lord I told that undertaker
undertaker please drive slow
for this body you are hauling
Lord, I hate to see her go

Please come home to your daddy, and explain yourself to me
Because I and you are man and wife, tryin' to start a family
I'm beggin' you baby, cut out that off the wall jive
If you can't treat me no better, it gotta be your funeral and my trial

You must explai-ai-ain why this must be
Did you lie-ie-ie when you spoke to me?
Didn't stand by me, no not at all
Didn't stand by me, no way
