China: A Day In The Life Part 13

(Forgot to post this yesterday)

When we've finished eating, the possibilities for entertainment in the town are, as I've mentioned before, limited.
There is always, however, the option of the pool hall.

Eight Ball Blues

We ain't got movies and we ain't got shows,

we ain't got music, but heaven knows

to make things better, brother, we got booze

and to pass the time away, we got the eight-ball blues.

 

We ain't got burgers and we ain't got fries,

we ain't got pizza and I tell know lies -

to make things better, brother, we got booze

and to pass the time away, we got the eight-ball blues.

 

We ain't got comics and we ain't got books

if you thought we got the papers you'd be mistook.

To make things better, brother, we got booze

and to pass the time away, we got the eight-ball blues.

 

We ain't got conversation, we ain't got Chinese.

Never got much past "hello", "goodbye" and "please".

To make things better, brother, we got booze

and to pass the time away, we got the eight-ball blues.

 

The hand that we've been dealt was from a deck that's stacked.

We ain't got much of anything and that's a fact.

To make things better, brother, we got booze

and to pass the time away, we got the eight-ball blues.

 

To make things better, brother, we got booze

and to pass the time away, we got the eight-ball blues.
