Jack McVea - Inflation Blues lyrics

Now listen Mr. President Congressmen too You've got me all frustrated And I don't know what to do I've tried to make a dollar I can't even save a cent It takes all of my money Just to eat and pay my rent [Chorus] I've got those inflation blues Blue as I can be I've got those inflation blues Blue as I can be Now that almighty dollar Why isn't that just in name No longer is it worth a buck It's power ain't the same I'm not one of the wealthy I can't afford the things I need I have a lot of meatless days Which have not been decreed [Chorus] I've got those inflation blues Blue as I can be I've got those inflation blues Blue as I can be About this aid to Europe Food and all that stuff Don't think that I'm a fussin' But ain't we done enough I wanna be a citizen Who can shoulder his share But till you stop inflation All you ask won't give a care [Chorus] I've got those inflation blues Blue as I can be I've got those inflation blues Blue as I can be
