Texico Music Night: Swamp Queens


G,C,G,Em,Am,G


Louisiana where the delta blew.

Walking the lowlands looking sad and used.

Never meant to end up this way.

Listened to everything they had to say.

Tried to take us down with shame and lists.

We're free as birds, they won't be missed.


Chorus

There's Swamp Queens all around.  X4.

C,Em,Am,Gx2


Started a business selling songs and such.

So far it hasn't amounted to much.

Maybe one day someone'll need a tune.

Maybe about some red afternoon.

Guitars will sound and neon will glow.

Music is the future of Texico.



New Orleans where the funky get down.

Dance til the morning comes around.

Whirl like the wind and shake it good.

Move around like a water snake would.

No wonder they seem so mad and mean.

Start up the music for the swamp queens.

What does CBS stand for anyway?  Doesn't matter now, they've become irrelevant, a bleak reminder of last century.  The fool's century.  Duped and looped.  Now we know. We started in around the late 40's, picking fights, manipulation, sinister and crude.  Stealthy.  Spies with eyes in the skies.  Peace was never kept, it was invaded.  America was a TV show on CBS.

Sources Say 2: They Miss The Ink

  Related to manipulation abuse, but with a capitalistic twist.  They are paid by the manipulators and the victims of manipulation.  It's a winning business model until the walls come crumbling down on the street, until the curtains pull back.  You thought Oz was bad, at least they got you back to Kansas.  These journal jerks got nothing. Even a few of my sources have moved on, the wreck has left the place dim and disgruntled.  Evidently, what's-her-name stormed out of a staff meeting in tears, mumbling something about pills and booze and karaoke night.  Guess it didn't go well.  Everyone laughed at her when she left the room, seems a real toxic work environment.  They miss the ink. But that won't stop them from cheering on China, and for good reasons.  Ask the finance department.  Money's money, honey, and they got the name, the bull statue, the cufflinks.  They got smear jobs, insinuations, and an editorial board.  Somew...
