The Big Snafu Songtext

There was a big snafu on the edge of town It seems a man had shot his woman down He stood over her body with his smoking gun He didn't try to hide he didn't try to run The police sirens screamed their lights broke the night They found him just staring at the gruesome sight There was nothing new about what they found The big snafu on the edge of town There was a big snafu at the factory gate The bosses clenched their teeth in hate The workmen smashed up against the door They screamed "fair wages" they wanted more It was then that blood began to spill Sculls were cracked with a violent will There was no chance to negotiate The big snafu at the factory gate Chorus: Someday it won't be this way Someday things are gonna change They can't destroy all hope and faith The prevailing human spirit remains There was a big snafu on the city streets There were people in rags with no food to eat The privileged only looked down in scorn Government turned its back once more Then the riots began to rage Across the land like a locust plague Destruction as far as the eye could see The big snafu on the city streets Chorus
