Upside Down Songtext
von Buddy Guy

Uh
Uh

I paid two dollars for a nickel candy bar
Gas in my tank cost more than my car
Taxes goin′ up, higher all the time
Workin' folks standin′ in the welfare line

Upside down
How did it get this way?
Upside down
It's a damn dirty shame

Politicians fight like cats and dogs
Wantin' more slop just to feed the hogs
Banks got money when the deal went south
I just want to know who′s gonna bail me out


Upside down
How did it get this way?
Upside down
It′s a damn dirty shame

You can't get credit, ain′t it a bitch
Kids need clothes, you can't afford a stitch
No health insurance, better not get sick
But if you do, then you better die quick

Upside down
How did it get this way?
Upside down
It′s a damn dirty shame
Upside down
The world's turned upside down
Upside down

It′s a damn dirty, damn, damn dirty
Damn dirty, mutha for you
Lowdown, dirty damn shame
