Look what they done to my song ma

Look what they done to my song

Well, it's the only thing that I could do half right

And it's turning out all wrong ma

Look what they done to my song Look what they done to my brain ma

Look what they done to my brain

Well, they picked it like a chicken bone

And I think I'm half insane ma

Look what they done to my song Wish I could find a good book to live in

Wish I could find a good book

Well, if I could find a real good book

I'd never have to come out and look at

What they done to my song Look what they done to my song

But maybe it'll all be alright ma, maybe it'll all be okay

Well, if the people are buying tears

I'll be rich someday ma

Look what they done to my song Ils ont change ma chanson, ma

Ils ont change ma chanson Look what they done to my song ma

Look what they done to my song ma

Well, they tied it up in a plastic bag

And turned it upside down ma

Look what they done to my song C'est la seule chose que je peux faire

Et ce n'est pas bon, ma

Ils ont change ma chanson Look what they done to my song ma

Look what they done to my song

It's the only thing I could do alright

And they turned it upside down

Oh ma, look what they done to my song
