Michelle Malone - Down Lyrics

From the Album: Sugarfoot (SBS Records)

Down Michelle Malone (STRANGE BIRD SONGS/ASCAP)

Em G Bm A The men who run my country are running her into the ground
Em G D A A ship lost on the ocean caught in a storm and tumbling down
C Down like corporate bowling pins
G D - Am Down like door to door salesmen – Down
Down like Peter to pay Paul– Down
Down oiling the devil’s paw (D- Am-G- D)

Elected officials prostituting for the highest contribution
behind closed doors looking for new ways to interpret the constitution

Down-sizing the public trust
Down in big businesses clutch- Down
Down like Bonnie’s down with Clyde
Down like gasoline in fire– Down
(D- Am-G-D – Dsus) (Inst VS)

Down the worm goes in the wood
Down there goes the neighborhood – Down
Down, the death nail in the box
Down, the children in Iraq - Down

Down like jet planes in the sky
Down like smoke gets in your eyes – Down
Down like soldiers in the sand
Down like we were in Vietnam –Down

(over CH)
Hoooooo, hoooooo
