Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
Can't help but wonder what's happenin' to my
companions,
Are they lost or are they found, have they counted
the cost it'll take to bring
down
All their earthly principles they're gonna have to
abandon?
There's a slow, slow train comin' up around the
bend.
I had a woman down in Alabama,
She was a backwoods girl, but she sure was
realistic,
She said, "Boy, without a doubt, have to quit your
mess and straighten out,
You could die down here, be just another accident
statistic."
There's a slow, slow train comin' up around the
bend.
All that foreign oil controlling American soil,
Look around you, it's just bound to make you
embarrassed.
Sheiks walkin' around like kings, wearing fancy
jewels and nose rings,
Deciding America's future from Amsterdam and to
Paris
And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the
bend.
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they
don't apply no more,
You can't rely no more to be standin' around waitin'
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in
his grave,
Fools glorifying themselves, trying to manipulate
Satan
And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the
bend.
Big-time negotiators, false healers and woman
haters,
Masters of the bluff and masters of the proposition
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,
All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the
name of religion
And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the
bend.
People starving and thirsting, grain elevators are
bursting
Oh, you know it costs more to store the food than it
do to give it.
They say lose your inhibitions, follow your own
ambitions,
They talk about a life of brotherly love, show me
someone who knows how to
live it. There's a slow, slow train comin' up around
the bend.
Well, my baby went to Illinois with some bad-talkin'
boy she could destroy
A real suicide case, but there was nothin' I could
do to stop it,
I don't care about economy, I don't care about
astronomy
But it sure do bother me to see my loved ones
turning into puppets,
There's a slow, slow train comin' up around the
bend.
