New Blue Mercedes Lyrics - Stan Ridgway

She knew when she got pregnant she could finally catch a man to bring the money home 

Blessed with no ambition, she was tired of selling sex on the telephone 

The father of her unborn child worked at night, with two guys in a chrysler van 

Breakin' into cars and stealin' radios, and sellin' 'em through some fencing scam 

Chorus: 

We are takin' back america, he said, as he popped out the ignition lock 

On a new blue mercedes in an underground parking lot 

Rich people got the money, we got nothin' but these big swingin' balls between our legs 

Gonna take back america, gonna take our share, no we ain't gonna beg 

Standin' in the schoolyard, he knew there was trouble when he heard the shots ring out 

Turnin' towards the corner he could hear the car approaching and someone shout 

From the side window, there's a flash, and he could feel the bullet go deep into his back 

And as he fell to the ground, the last thing he said was small fries, and a big mac 

Chorus repeat
