Kool-Aid Ry Cooder

[Verse 1]
When I'm near to you I'm nearly poor and that's new to me
You built me up, then you brought me down secretly
I was for you body and soul, now I'm trapped in a deep hold
Kool-Aid, I drank the Kool-Aid

[Verse 2]
You said the poor were closing in and I had to leave
The war on them was a righteous thing and I believed
With my gun, I took a stand against black, brown, yellow, and tan
Kool-Aid, I drank your Kool-Aid

[Bridge]
But the day came when I found my little job was gone
Now how 'm I supposed to tell my little wife at home
Because she thinks that you will make everything all right
But she's over there asleep and I'm smoking menthol cigarettes all night

[Verse 3]
Kool-Aid all around my brain
What shall I do? Help me, please, 'cause I can't change
I have no hope, I could be wrong
But all I got is just about gone
Kool-Aid, I drank you Kool-Aid
Kool-Aid, all your cool Kool-Aid
I really did
