The Git Go

It’s been that way since the git go

It’s been that way since the git go

Well, it’s been that way since the git go

Lord it’s always been that way

Woman shined the apple, and the man had to take a bite

Anything that good, God knows, just had to be right

Well they woke up naked with a bit headache

He been done in by a slippery snake

A man and a woman get to live a while and then they die

It’s been that way since the git go

It’s been that way since the git go

It’s been that way since the git go

Lord it’s always been that way

Politicians make promises that they can’t keep

They keep printin’ money ‘till they get in way too deep

It’s the same old lesson, they never learn

They’re too busy workin’ on their next term

Politicians keep makin’ fools out of you and me

It’s been that way since the git go

It’s been that way since the git go

It’s been that way since the git go

Lord it’s always been that way

Money breeds war, as long as there’s a man alive

Rich kids go to college, and the poor kids fight

High-rollers crap out every time, roll a soldier’s bones like loaded dice

War is the beast that makes every mother cry

It’s been that way since the git go

It’s been that way since the git go

It’s been that way since the git go

Lord it’s always been that way

He told the truth, and they hung him up to die

The son of God who created you and I

He said it in the Good Book and letters in red

But we keep on forgettin’ every thing He said

Jesus Christ hung on the cross for you and I

It’s been that way since the git go

It’s been that way since the git go

It’s been that way since the git go

Lord it’s always been that way

It’s been that way since the git go

It’s been that way since the git go

It’s been that way since the git go

Lord it’s always been that way
