Inflation

Larry Blackmon

[Intro]
Up against the wall, turkey
What? Up against the wall?

[Verse 1]
A dollar bill can buy you a meal
But the meal just ain't worth havin'
A dollar bill can't buy you a meal
'Cause a dollar bill just ain't no deal

[Refrain]
Almighty dollar
Never seem to make it (Almighty dollar)
Almighty dollar, oh yeah
Government make us take it (Almighty dollar)

[Verse 2]
I sacrifice to feed my wife
What can I do? Lord, what can I do?
Yeah, uh huh, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Inflation
Sweeping 'cross the nation
Inflation'
(Can't get enough food to eat, yeah)
I ain't got no shoes on my feet
(What?)
Inflation
(Even make a preacher steal, yeah)
Got my woman on the pill, hey
Inflation
(Taxes going up so high, well)
I can't afford to die

[Ad-Lib]
What you say?
You know what man, I said: "Two dollars for a pack of cigarettes, what?""
I said, "Man, you must be crazy, do they do dishes?"

[Refrain]
Almighty dollar
Never seem to make it (Almighty dollar)
Almighty dollar, oh yeah
Government make us take it (Almighty dollar)

[Verse 3]
I sacrifice to feed my wife
What can I do? Lord, what can I do?
Yeah, uh huh, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Inflation
It's got the whole congregation
Inflation'
(Can't get enough food to eat, yeah)
I ain't got no shoes on my feet
Inflation
(It'll even make a preacher steal, ha ha)
Got my woman on the pill, hey
Inflation
(Taxes going up so high)
I think I'm gonna die

[Ad-Lib]
What? Two dollars?
Lemme have one. Come on, hook me up
A dollar? Can't get a gallon of gas for a dollar

[Outro]
Everything going up
Going up
Going up, going up
Sing it
