Unspoiled By Progress

Walter Trout Unspoiled By Progress Lyrics
1.They Call Us Working Class

I was workin' in a factory
On the edge of town.
The company moved to Mexico.
They closed the factory down.
My next door neighbor,
He got a PHD.
Now he's in the unemployment line
Standing next to me.

Down on the corner,
They are boarding up the store.
They call us the working class,
But we ain't working,
we ain't working anymore!
We ain't working no more...

People losing their houses,
They got no place to go.
But there's a million dollar bonus,
For the local CEO.
They're giving all the money
To the brokers and the banks
I asked them for just a little bit.
They said : 'thanks, but no thanks'

This morning the boss men
He showed me the door.
They call us the working class,
But we ain't working,
we ain't working anymore!
We ain't working no more...

(guitar solo)

They got a stimulus package
They say that's what it has to be
Is it stimulating you?
It sure ain't stimulating me.
They are handing out money
More every day.
I'm still waiting for my cut.
But nothing ever comes my way

Lately I've been wondering.
What I was working for.
They call us the working class,
But we ain't working,
we ain't working anymore!
We ain't working no more...
We ain't working no more
We ain't working no more


2.Goin' Down


3.Life In The Jungle

You've gotta leave this town*
Lonely is only got you down
Leave this town!
You know that it`s only got you down

Take a look around
You` re dying in this town
When you` re out on the street
You cross your dreams beneath your feet

Walking on the street!
Now you cross your dreams beneath your feet

Murder all about, there must be must be some way out
Lord there must be so way out


On a dirty street
You ask the people that you meet

On a dirty street
You ask everybody that you meet

(You've ) got to understand you`re dying in this town
This dirty town


4.Long Tall Sally

Gonna tell Aunt Mary 'bout Uncle John,
He claims he has the misery but he has a lotta fun.
Oh baby, ye-e-e-eh baby, woo-o-o-oh baby,
Havin' me some fun tonight.

Well, long tall Sally she's built for speed, she got
everything that Uncle John need
Oh baby,
ye-e-e-eh baby,
woo-o-o-oh baby,
havin' me some fun tonight.
Well, I saw Uncle John with long tall Sally.
He saw Aunt mary comin' and he ducked back in the alley.
Oh baby,
ye-e-e-eh baby,
woo-o-o-oh baby,
havin' me some fun tonight.

We're gonna have some fun tonight,
gonna have some fun tonight.
We're gonna have some fun tonight,
everything will be alright.
We're gonna have some fun,
gonna have some fun tonight.
We're gonna have some fun tonight,
gonna have some fun tonight.
We're gonna have some fun tonight,
everything will be alright.
We're gonna have some fun,
gonna have some fun tonight.

8.Sweet As A Flower

Lyricist:James Franklyn Trapp, Walter Trout

She was as sweet as a flower just starting to bloom
I knew I was in trouble when she walked into the room
How could someone so young know of love so soon?

She knew that I had seen her, I saw her looking my way
I felt that I should answer, then what should I say
Should I ask her to come with me or forget and walk away?

She told me she was older, but I knew she couldn't be
She told me she was older, I knew she couldn't be
'Cause her eyes made me remember the days
When I was young and free

It's hard when you grow older and you're longing to be young
And your song of innocence is a song already sung
You can sing it to the sunrise, never to the setting sun


9.Two Sides To Every Story

They tried to tell me some things
But I know there's always two sides to a story

I don't give a damn about what others say
They just can't see you gettin' close to me
I don't give a damn about what happened before me
There's always two sides to a story

I don't give a damn about what others say
They just don't want you gettin' close to me (No, no, no)
I don't really care about what happened before me
There's always two sides to a story (First verse)

I don't understand why it's happening
And I'm tryin' to ignore the things I hear
People saying things all up in my ear
And I'm wondering is it the truth I fear

You don't need to explain, 'cause baby, I don't care
Whatever happened then was then, then was then
All that really matters, girl, that it's you and me
Whatever was then is gone, we can't change it now

I don't give a damn about what others say (Oh)
They just can't see you gettin' close to me (Close to me, yeah)
I don't give a damn about what happened before me
There's always two sides to a story (There's always two sides to
a
story, mmm, hmm)

I don't give a damn about what others say (Mmm, no)
They just don't want you gettin' close to me (They don't want
you
gettin' close to me, no)
I don't really care about what happened before me
There's always two sides to a story (Mmm, hmm)

Met some others girls and they started tellin' me
How you used to carry on back then with them
And they tried to tell me things like you ain't changed one bit
But they ain't there to see the things I see

You don't need to explain, I just want you to know
It starts from now and not back then, then was then
All that really matters, girl, that it's you and me
Whatever was did, it's gone, it's history

I don't give a damn about what others say (I don't give a damn)
They just can't see you gettin' close to me (See you gettin'
close)
I don't give a damn about what happened before me
There's always two sides to a story (There's always two sides to
a
story)

I don't give a damn about what others say (Yes, it is)
They just don't want you gettin' close to me (Want you gettin'
close)
I don't really care about what happened before me (Baby, can you
tell me
one thing)
There's always two sides to a story (Can we go)

On and on and on and on and on and on and on
Can we go on and on and on and on and on and on
Can we go on and on and on and on and on and on
Can we go on and on and on and on and on and on

I don't give a damn about what others say (No)
They just can't see you gettin' close to me
(No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
I don't give a damn about what happened before me (Mmm, hmm)
There's always two sides to a story (There's always two sides)

I don't give a damn about what others say (There's always two
sides)
They just don't want you gettin' close to me (No, no, no, no,
no)
I don't really care about what happened before me (I don't give
a damn)
There's always two sides to a story ('Cause there's always two
sides to
a story, baby)

I don't give a damn about what others say
(Oh...they don't want you getting close to me)
I don't give a damn about what happened before me
(No, I don't give a damn what happened before me)

I don't give a damn about what others say
(No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
I don't really care about what happened before me (I don't give
a damn,
no, no, no)
There's always two sides to a story (All I know is that I love
you,
darlin')

I don't give a damn about what others say (Mmm)
They just can't see you gettin' close to me (All I know is that
I need
you)
I don't give a damn about what happened before me
There's always two sides to a story (Oh, I don't care about what
happened before me, baby)

I don't give a damn about what others say
(They're just jealous of you and they want your place)
I don't really care about what happened before me (No, no)
There's always two sides to a story (No, no)
