Bruce Cockburn

I was up the road on easy street
Watching everybody stand around and cheat
A man comes up and says "move along
Down to the corner where you belong"
But mama just wants to barrelhouse all night long
I hear the city singing like a siren choir
Some fool tried to set this town on fire
Tv preacher screams "come on along"
I feel like fay wray face to face with king kong
But mama just wants to barrelhouse all night long
Sometimes i wonder what i am
I feel like i'm living in a hologram
It doesn't seem to matter what's right or wrong
Everybody's grabbing and coming on strong
But mama just wants to barrelhouse all night long
