Sweet Revenge — текст песни (John Prine)

I got kicked off noahs ark

I turn my cheek to unkind remarks

There was two of everything

But one of me

And when the rains came tumbling down

I held my breath and I stood my ground

And I watched that ship go sailing

Out to sea.



Chorus:

Take it back

Take it back

Oh no, you cant say that

All of my friends

Are not dead or in jail

Through rock and through stone

The black wind still moans

Sweet revenge

Sweet revenge

Without fail.



I caught an aisle seat on a plane

And drove an english teacher half insane

Making up jokes about bicycle spokes

And red balloons

So I called up my local deejay

And he didnt have a lot to say

But the radio

Has learned all of my favorite tunes.



Chorus:



The white meat is on the run

And the dark meat is far too done

And the milkman left me a note yesterday

Get out of this town by noon

Youre coming on way too soon

And besides that

We never liked you any way.



Chorus:
