Текст песни Puttin' People On The Moon (Drive-By Truckers) с переводом

Mary Alice had a baby and he looked just like I did

We got married on a Monday, and I been working ever since

Every week down at the Ford plant but now they’re shutting down

Goddamned Reagan in the White House and nobody gives a damn

Double digit unemployment, TVA be shutting soon

While over there in Huntsville, they puttin' people on the moon

So I took to runnin' numbers for this man I used to know

And I sell a few narcotics, and I sell a little blow

I ain’t getting rich now, but I’m gettin' more than by

It’s really tough to make a living but a man’s just got to try

If I died in Colbert County, would it make the evening news?

They too busy blowin' rockets, puttin' people on the moon

Mary Alice, she quit askin' why I do the things I do

I ain’t sayin' that she likes it, but what else I’m gonna do?

If I could solve the world’s problems, I’d probably start with hers and mine

But they can put a man on the moon

And I’m stuck down here just scraping by

Mary Alice got cancer, just like everybody here

Seems everyone I know is gettin' cancer every year

And we can’t afford no insurance, I been 10 years unemployed

So she didn’t get no chemo and our lives they was destroyed

Nothin' ever changes, cemetery gets more full

And now over there in Huntsville, even NASA’s shut down too

Another joker’s in the White House, said a change was comin' round

But I’m workin' at the Wal-Mart; Mary Alice, in the ground

And all them politicians, they all lyin' sacks of shit

They say better days upon us but it’s sucking left hind tit

And the preacher on the TV says it ain’t too late for me

But I bet he drives a Cadillac and I’m broke with hungry mouths to feed

And I wish I’z still an outlaw, was a better way of life

I could clothe and feed my family, still have time to love my pretty wife

If you say I’m being punished, ain’t He got better things to do?

Turnin' mountains into oceans, puttin' people on the moon

Turnin' mountains into oceans, puttin' people on the moon
