James Roberts - Getting Tight
lyrics
Getting Tight

The folk singer takes his seat
Gives up a startling revelation
How his haircut cost him more
Than the GDP of a third world nation

Talk radio fills my head
Full of useless information
Below my hairline is the nether region
Of an unexploited imagination

The angry mob is at my door
With their torches burning bright
Im slipping into something familiar
Cause the time is getting tight

Facts are flying in my face
As the artist takes years off my life
The calming hum of the broadcast tower
Spreads the word throughout the night

The mob comes banging at my door
With their torches burning bright
Im slipping into something familiar
Cause the time is getting tight

How I aspire to greatness
Put me on a pedestal
I could rain down misery
From my cache of blue chemicals
