Lex Zaleta - The " I Blew It Big Time" Blues Songtexte
It all started when Adam
Had a bite to eat with Eve.
It wasn't long before God
Told them both they had to leave.
They munched on forbidden fruit;
Took maybe one or two chews
Before they started singing
Those "I Blew It Big Time Blues."
After the Red Sea parted,
Soldiers and chariots came.
When that Red Sea "de-parted,"
Pharaoh's army did the same.
It started with the Egyptians
Persecuting those Jews;
Ended with Pharaoh singing
Those "I Blew It Big Time Blues."
Old Mr. Dylan said,
"People don't do what they believe in;
They just do what's most convenient,
And then they repent."
If what Mr. Dylan is bringing
Is pure Gospel truth,
Pretty soon we'll all be singing
Those "I Blew It Big Time Blues."
The Romans hunted believers;
Made them "feed between the lions."
When givers turn receivers,
It's the Grim Reaper who dines.
Hear that dinner bell ringing
Waking Satan from his snooze.
Hear Pontius Pilate singing
Those "I Blew It Big Time Blues."
Well, Hitler tried his power play,
Caused a furor with his blitzkrieg,
Right up to his Judgment Day
When he bunkered down with fatigue.
When his chauffeur lit the fuse,
The torch song he was singing
Was the "I Blew It Big Time Blues."
Old Mr. Dylan said,
"People don't do what they believe in;
They just do what's most convenient,
And then they repent."
If what Mr. Dylan is bringing
Is pure Gospel truth,
Pretty soon we'll all be singing
Those "I Blew It Big Time Blues."
Now, we're seeing the end times,
Signs and wonders all around.
We've got record-setting crimes;
Earthquakes shaking all the ground.
Won't be long before Satan
Kicks off his asbestos shoes.
There'll be some hot licks playing
Those "I Blew It Big Time Blues."
