Rodney Crowell - The Obscenity Prayer (Give It To Me) lyrics

Give to me my time and money Give to me my milk and honey Give to me my self respect Golden chains around my neck Give to me my super model Corporate jet and champagne bottle Get me out there on the town Let me spread my wealth around I could learn to love this life I lead But just don't take away the things I need I feel rosy in the pink So just don't make me stop and think All those dark thoughts in my head Seem like better left unsaid Give it to me (Give it, give it, give it, give it) Give it to me (Give it, give it, give it, give it) Give it to me (Give it, give it, give it, give it) (Give it, give it, give it, give it) Give to me my latest fashion Make my lover burn with pa**ion Give to me my charm and wit Keep my body young and fit Give to me my haute couture Give the world a cancer cure Serve my breakfast au frescoe Let the wine and liquor flow I can search for truth some other time But right now I just wanna get what's mine Let the gangsters rule the street While teachers try to make ends meet I despise all bleeding hearts I don't patronize the arts Give it to me (Give it, give it, give it, give it) Give it to me (Give it, give it, give it, give it) Give it to me (Give it, give it, give it, give it) Right now I don't understand what it is you're trying to sell Or what it is you're trying to tell me You're tryin' to get me to show some compa**ion Man, that's so outta fashion Give to me my Aspen winter Sorry 'bout the World Trade Center I can't help the ones in need I've got my own mouth to feed Give to me my Playboy Channel k**er weed and sheets of flannel Lay me down upon my bed With pleasant dreams to fill my head Just look at what this world is coming to And there ain't one damn thing that I can do I don't have a leg to stand on I don't have a net to land on I don't have the base of power I don't have the extra hour Give it to me (Give it, give it, give it, give it) Give it to me (Give it, give it, give it, give it) Give it to me right now (Give it, give it, give it, give it, give it, give it) Give to me my tax cut outsource Build me my own private golf course The Dixie Chicks can kiss my a** But I still need that backstage pa** Give to me my Nasdaq numbers Intel shares and E-trade blunders Soldiers to defend my freedom And a script for Valium if I need em' And give it to me (Give it, give it, give it, give it) Give it to me (Give it, give it, give it, give it) Give it to me right now (Give it, give it, give it, give it)
