Ballad of jim jones


I walked from New York and back from L.A.
I lived on a mountain and once by the bay
I bought an apartment and slept in the hay
but there's no place that's softer than (your arms)

living today is just getting so bad
there's a look on your face
and it says"you've been had!"
you can take all my money
but don't make me mad
cause there's nobody meaner than (me)

I prayed to Buddha, to Allah, and Jim.
I turned to Jesus and stayed there with him
I fell in deep but I learned how to swim
now there's no one who's cleaner than me or than him

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Brian Jonestown Massacre is an American musical group formed in San Francisco in 1990. Led by the charismatic Anton Newcombe, they are considered pioneers of neo-psychedelia. Their music is characterized by psychedelic and garage rock atmospheres, with influences from 1970s glam rock and electronic music. Newcombe is known for his controversial personality and struggles with addiction, which have often marked the band's history. Despite the difficulties, The Brian Jonestown Massacre has released a vast discography, including albums like "Take It From The Man!" (1998), "Give It Back!" (2000) and "Revelation" (2005). Some of their most representative songs include "Anemone", "The Truth Is Out There", "Straight Up And Down" and "Who's Gonna Take You Home?" . The band has collaborated with artists like The Dandy Warhols and Primal Scream.
