Bottle Rockets - Welfare Music
[G]Quit school when she was [C]seventeen
[G]Senator on TV calls her [D]welfare Queen
[Em]Used to be daddy's [G]little girl
Now [Em]she needs [C]help in this[D] mean old [G]world
[G]Buys cassette tapes in the[C] bargain bin
Loves [G]Carlene Carter and [D]Loretta Lynn
[Em]Tries to have fun on a S[G]aturday night
[Em]sunday mornin[C]g don't s[D]hine to [G]bright
[G]It's welfare [C]music
[G]Watch the baby [D]dance
To the [Em]welfare [G]music
Will she [Em]ever [D]stand a c[G]hance
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
