Unbelievable

It's unbelievable, it's strange but true It's inconceivable it could happen to you You go north and you go south Just like bait in the fish's mouth Ya must be livin' in the shadow of some kind of evil star It's unbelievable it would get this far It's undeniable what they'd have you to think It's indescribable, it can drive you to drink They said it was the land of milk and honey Now they say it's the land of money Who ever thought they could ever make that stick It's unbelievable you can get this rich this quick Every head is so dignified Every moon is so sanctified Every urge is so satisfied as long as you're with me All the silver, all the gold All the sweethearts you can hold That don't come back with stories untold Are hanging on a tree It's unbelievable like a lead balloon It's so impossible to even learn the tune Kill that beast and feed that swine Scale that wall and smoke that vine Feed that horse and saddle up the drum It's unbelievable, the day would finally come Once there was a man who had no eyes Every lady in the land told him lies He stood beneath the silver sky and his heart began to bleed Every brain is civilized Every nerve is analyzed Everything is criticized when you are in need It's unbelievable, it's fancy-free So interchangeable, so delightful to see Turn your back, wash your hands There's always someone who understands It don't matter no more what you got to say It's unbelievable it would go down this way --- Unbelievable - Bettye LaVette
