Lyrics Those Poor Bastards

Those Poor Bastards

Family Graveyard

I'm gonna raise my daddy from the dead

just like that old fella Lazarus

I'm gonna drive to the country in my Cadillac

to the lonesome family graveyard

'Cause I got a quart of whiskey

and I got a quart of blood

and those are the ingredients of resurrection

I'm gonna raise my mama from the dead

just like that old fella Lazarus

I'm gonna steal new shoes and slick my hair

make her real proud of me

'Cause I got a quart of whiskey

and I got a quart of blood

and those are the ingredients of resurrection

I'm gonna raise this whole fuckin' town from dead

like ol' Lazarus

yes, like ol' Lazarus

I said a-hallelujah
