The Obscenity Prayer (give It To Me) Lyrics - Rodney Crowell

Give to me my time and money 

Give to me my milk and honey 

Give to me my self respect 

Golden chains around my neck 

Give to me my super model 

Corporate jet and champagne bottle 

Get me out there on the town 

Let me spread my wealth around 

I could learn to love this life I lead 

But just don? t take away the things I need 

I feel rosy in the pink 

So just don? t make me stop and think 

All those dark thoughts in my head 

Seem like better left unsaid

Give it to me 

(Give it, give it, give it, give it) 

Give it to me 

(Give it, give it, give it, give it) 

Give it to me 

(Give it, give it, give it, give it) 

(Give it, give it, give it, give it) 

Give to me my latest fashion 

Make my lover burn with passion 

Give to me my charm and wit 

Keep my body young and fit 

Give to me my haute couture 

Give the world a cancer cure 

Serve my breakfast au frescoe 

Let the wine and liquor flow 

I can search for truth some other time 

But right now I just wanna get what's mine 

Photos 

Let the gangsters rule the street 

While teachers try to make ends meet 

I despise all bleeding hearts 

I don? t patronize the arts 

Give it to me 

(Give it, give it, give it, give it) 

Give it to me 

(Give it, give it, give it, give it) 

Give it to me 

(Give it, give it, give it, give it) 

Right now 

I don't understand what it is you're trying to sell 

Or what it is you're trying to tell me 

You're tryin' to get me to show some compassion 

Man, that's so outta fashion 

Give to me my Aspen winter 

Sorry 'bout the World Trade Center 

I can? t help the ones in need 

I? ve got my own mouth to feed 

Give to me my Playboy Channel 

Killer weed and sheets of flannel 

Lay me down upon my bed 

With pleasant dreams to fill my head 

Just look at what this world is coming to 

And there ain? t one damn thing that I can do 

I don? t have a leg to stand on 

I don? t have a net to land on 

I don? t have the base of power 

I don? t have the extra hour 

Give it to me 

(Give it, give it, give it, give it) 

Give it to me 

(Give it, give it, give it, give it) 

Give it to me right now 

(Give it, give it, give it, give it, give it, give it) 

Give to me my tax cut outsource 

Build me my own private golf course 

The Dixie Chicks can kiss my ass 

But I still need that backstage pass 

Give to me my Nasdaq numbers 

Intel shares and E-trade blunders 

Soldiers to defend my freedom 

And a script for Valium if I need em? 

And give it to me 

(Give it, give it, give it, give it) 

Give it to me 

(Give it, give it, give it, give it) 

Give it to me right now 

(Give it, give it, give it, give it)
