Testo di Inflation Blues

I have ten kids at home got to eat And eight of those kids need shoes on their feet Now listen mister President and all you Congressmen too I have ten kids that I got to clothe and feed Things are gettin' worse in the city Things are gettin' worse in the city Things are gettin' tough And I got those mean inflation blues My landlord rang my front door bell And I just let it ring for a long long spell I asked him to tell me what was on his mind He said you gotta pay up or move young man Your rent is too far behind Things are gettin' worse in the city Things are gettin' worse in the city Things are gettin' tough And I got those mean inflation blues I don't make much money I can't save a cent It takes all I can make just to eat, I can't pay the rent I got lots o' other bills and they're all behind When you see me laughin' people I'm laughin' to keep from cryin' Things are gettin' worse in the city Things are gettin' worse in the city Things are gettin' tough And I got those mean inflation blues
