Danny O'Keefe - So Long Harry Truman lyrics

O'Keefe I can't stand to read the papers Seems like all the news is bad And an empty anger keeps me From feeling really sad These are strange times we live in Hard games we play Wager very carefully And play'em as they lay But don't play no cards ain't in your hand So long Harry Truman Goddamn it's hard to find an honest man No longer sure of waking No longer sure of sleep A prisoner bound by promises We knew he could not keep And someone said, let's hang him For he is a fool Ah, but tell me just how was it That he came to rule Never trust an enemy Never cheat a friend Just doin' what you think is right Usually works out in the end And the president thought of Truman When he knew the end was near You can pa** it on for quite a while But it's true, the buck stops here
