Big Sister
I didn't cheat, I didn't lie
So when she kicked me out it took me by surprise
I thought I'd been screwed but that's when the screwing began

As I stood and watched my kingdom burn
You know they bent me over and took their turn
And the only excuse I got was from her liar man

She got the house, the car and the kids
They put her on easy street and me on the skids
Some beaurocrat thinks that she's real smart
Makining it by keeping my family apart

You better look out brother big sister is watching you
You better stay in line 'cause she knows all the things that you do
She's got her ways to make you toe the mark
And an uncle to turn the screw
You better look out brother big sister is watching you

She's at her desk like a coiled snake
Big sister loves to see men shake
Now understand she's got her social service chore

Some day she's gonna pay some dues
And walk about a mile in my shoes
'Til then I owe my soul to the country's whore

When I said "I Do" I never saw that breakin' up would be like breakin' the law
Now if I don't make my monthly bail
The FBI will throw my ass in jail

For hauling freight and hanging steel
We got it in the rear
The judge who made them welfare rules
Must be a little queer

I wish I'd known what I know today
You can bet I'd have done it another way
Little sister better watch out what you do
Big sister might come and turn on you
