SATELLITE SONG

my family farmed the bottom land
before the year the world went dry
and the bank took away what had been
ours for a hundred years
well I could cry myself a river
it would not wash away their sins
but maybe I could drown then in my tears

well hello
from my satellite
is anybody listening tonight
I used to be the government
until the dollar stole my voice
I asked my congressman how I could set that straight
he said son get yourself a talk show
just like everybody else
now I'm world wide and man do I look great
well hello
from my satellite
is anybody listening tonight
well the devil stole the thunder
on the eleven o'clock news
he had preacher hair and a smile like dime store pearls
and the anchor quoted springsteen
to the questions in our eyes
he said sir it's just a meanness in this world
well hello
from my satellite
is anybody listening tonight
