Lyrics

In the Long Run you'll be sad
But in the meanwhile you'll be glad

Yes In the long run you're gonna learn that it's the small one yeah it's the small one that always gets had
It's the poor one who gets stabbed in the back yeah it's the black man and the red man and every other man in town

That don't sell dope don't kill a kill our hope gonna ever have to send us marchin off to war, its those men that always get had
And its your man who gets shuffled with the deck, Its gonna be your man who gets killed with the rest

Oh when they deal those cards right down and you're the poorest man in town,
It's a cinch your marching off to everybody's war, its those men that always get had

They need a clown to lead around, you know they're gonna send you right down
to hell you'll do just swell gonna send you off to Vietnam and 5000 other little places where you can get had

Yeah It's the poor one who gets stabbed in the back yeah it's the black man and the red man and every other man in town who
That don't sell dope don't kill a kill our hope gonna ever have to send us marchin off to war, its those men that always get had

Da Da da in da da in da,

In the long run, you'll be sad, in the long run you'll be sad, cause in the the long run you'll be had

Nice mood,

Liked the flute in the background. Really nice acoustic guitar sound.
