Melanie Safka - Look What They Done to My Song

Look what they've done to my song, Ma

Look what they've done to my song

Well, its the only thing I could do half right

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

Well, if the people are buying tears

Then 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 OK

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...
