New Blue Mercedes Lyrics by Stan Ridgway

New Blue Mercedes Lyrics

    She knew when she got pregnant she could finally catch a man to bring the money home
    Blessed with no ambition, she was tired of selling sex on the telephone
    The father of her unborn child worked at night, with two guys in a chrysler van
    Breakin' into cars and stealin' radios, and sellin' 'em through some fencing scam

    Chorus:
    We are takin' back america, he said, as he popped out the ignition lock
    On a new blue mercedes in an underground parking lot
    Rich people got the money, we got nothin' but these big swingin' balls between our legs
    Gonna take back america, gonna take our share, no we ain't gonna beg



    Standin' in the schoolyard, he knew there was trouble when he heard the shots ring out
    Turnin' towards the corner he could hear the car approaching and someone shout
    From the side window, there's a flash, and he could feel the bullet go deep into his back
    And as he fell to the ground, the last thing he said was small fries, and a big mac


    Chorus repeat


    Round the south bay near the airport, in a back garage behind a convenience store
    There's a meeting going on with some people who ain't gonna take it anymore
    And in the west side of the city in a chic italian restaurant, some people sit outside in the sun
    Some talk about the weather, some talk about the earthquake, most talk about some mutual fund...
