lyrics

Trouble Out Of My Field

I'll tell you a story
I'll tell it true
It ain't so old
And it ain't so new

The priest told the sheriff
Who told it to the judge
The farmer she just will not budge

Saying get your trouble out of my field
Take your shovels and your big iron wheels
Get your trouble out of my field

The judge held his gavel
Like a phallus to be sure
He brought it down and now
The town's at war

The ones who sold
They needed the dough
And the ones who didn't
Had nowhere to go

Saying get your trouble out of my field
Take your shovels and your big iron wheels
Get your trouble out of my field

And at the top, like it or not
They're sailing in a brand new yacht
With the money they made
From a special kind of trade
Where they take whatever they want

And so my friends
The problem is plain
The politicians and the cops
And the banks are the same

It's like one big company store
If we want our bread
We gotta kick in the door

And say get your trouble out of my field
Take your shovels and your big iron wheels
Get your trouble out of my field
