The Brothers G - Oppression Blues Lyrics

When you got nothing
It's hard to lose
How can I live like that
With my neck in your noose

That's why
That's why you are my oppressor
That's right I said it

When my work day is done
And I want to come home to you
But you nailed the door shoot
And won't let me through

You know I'm beat
Got no food to eat
And I got no one to hold me tight
At night

That's why
That's why you are my oppressor

You know night every man
Deserves love
But I'd give to you my beating heart
And still you won't give me some

That's why
You are my
Goddamn that's why
You are my oppressor
Oh your all mine
