look what they've done to my song

look what they've done to my song

ma

look what they've done to my song

well

it's the only thing i could do half right

and it's turning out all wrong

ma

look what they've done to my song

look what they've done to my brain

ma

look what they've done to my brain

yeah

they picked it like a chicken bone

and they think i'm half insane

ma

look what they've done to my brain

wish i could find a book to live in

wish i could find a good book

cause if i could find a real good book

i'd never have to come out and look at

look what they've done to my song

na na na na na na na na

na na na na na na na

and if people are buying tears

we'll be rich someday

ma

look what they've done to my brain

but maybe i'll be alright

ma

yeah maybe i'll be okay

cause if the people are buying tears

then we'll be rich someday

ma

look what they've done to my song

look what they've done to my soul

ma

look what they've done to my soul

yeah

they tied it in a plastic bag

and they shook me upside down

ma

look what they've done to my song

look what they've done to my soul
