I've been waiting for years to buy a brand new cadillac |
|
But now that i've got one i want to send it right back |
|
I can't afford the gas to fill my luxury limousine |
|
But even if i had the dough no one's got no gasoline |
|
I went to my local dealer to see if he could set me straight |
|
He said there's a little gas going but i'd have to wait |
|
But he offered some red hot speed and some really high grade hash |
|
But a gallon of gas can't be purchased anywhere for any amount of cash |
|
I can score you some coke and some grade one grass |
|
But i can't get a gallon of gas |
|
I've got some downers some speed all the drugs that you need |
|
But i can't get a gallon of gas |
|
There's no more left to buy or sell |
|
There's no more oil left in the well |
|
A gallon of gas can't be purchased anywhere |
|
For any amount of cash |
|
Two extra verses from long version: |
|
I love your body-work, but you're really no use |
|
How can i drive you when i got no juice? |
|
Because it's stuck in neutral and my engine's got no speed |
|
And the highways are deserted |
|
And the air smells unnaturally clean. |
|
It's got power-assisted overdrive and carpets on the floor, |
|
But it's parked out front just like a dead dinosaur. |
|
And i'll be paying off the bank for 45 years or more. |
|
It should go 100 miles an hour, |
|
But it's never moved away from my door. |
|
Who needs a car and a seven-forty-seven |
|
When you can't buy a gallon of gas |
|
Who needs a highway, an airport or a jet |
|
When you can't get a gallon of gas |
|
There's no more left to buy or sell |
|
There's no more oil left in the well |
|
A gallon of gas can't be purchased anywhere |
|
For any amount of cash |
|
You can't buy a gallon of gas |
