lyrics
somebody dug a hole, six foot cold
somebody laid down, somebody got old
somebody has to guess, somebody has to choose
somebody has to win and somebody has to lose
and somebody has to live with the star spangled blues
anybody brings a crowd, anybody comes around
anybody gets up, anybody gets down
anybody gets tight, anybody gets loose
anybody gets mad and anybody who can’t prove
that they didn’t have to pay for the star spangled blues
nobody wants to do it, nobody goes first
everybody lays down, nobody gets hurt
nobody wants to hear it, yesterday’s news
nobody believes that, anyway and everybody pays those dues
we all have to wake up with the star spangled blues
somebody comes to save us, everybody gets pissed
anybody starts a movement, nobody gives a shit
everybody loves a winner, nobody likes to lose
somebody has to guess, somebody has to choose
somebody chooses wrong, nobody takes the blame
anybody points the finger, all stays the same
somebody starts it over, we all play along
and everybody likes to talk about them folks who can’t prove
that they didn’t have to pay for the star spangled blues
and we all have to live with the star spangled blues
