Ar And break t,r for the open ground!
And in jist about my fix,
When your whole farm slides from under
And only the mortgage sticks.
Now cars hain,t a-goin' to kill you
Eff you don't drive ,crost the track
Creditors neverll jerk you up
Of you go and pay EN- back;
| You can stand all moral and mundane
Eff you'll on'y jist behave
But a. earthquake-well, eff it wanted you
