It's been that way since the git go



It's been that way since the git go (x3)
Lord it's always been that way

Woman shined the apple, and the man had to take a bite
Anything that good God knows just had to be right

Well they woke up naked with a big headache,
they been done in by a slippery snake,
a man and a woman gets to live a while and then they die

It's been that way since the git go (x3)
Lord its always been that way

Politicians make promises that they can't keep,
they keep printin' money till they get in way too deep

It's the same old lesson they never learn,
they're too busy workin on their next term,
politicians keep making fools out of you and me

It's been that way since the git go (x3)
Lord it's always been that way

Money breeds war as long as there's a man alive,
rich kids go to college and the poor kids fight

The high rollers crap out every time,
rolling soldiers' bones like loaded dice,
war is the beast that makes every mother cry

It's been that way since the git go (x3)
Lord it's always been that way

He told the truth and they hung Him up to die,
the Son of God who created you and I

He said it in the good book, letters in red,
but we keep forgettin' every word He said,
Jesus Christ hung on the cross for you and I

It's been that way since the git go (x3)
Lord it's always been that way

It's been that way since the git go (x3)
Lord it's always been that way

Thanks for this Nick, good stuff.

BTW: the comments you left over at Cool Change's site were very thoughtful and much appreciated by him.

You are a very decent person and we can make a difference, all be it small at times, in others lives.

Honored to know and be connected with you, truly am.
