The Shape I'm In

What it is about paying your taxes that the rich and affluent don't understand?  I think Tom Daschle is not doing Obama any favors on getting this healthcare overhaul moving forward.  If you are bought and sold just like the rest, you will be just like the rest.  I know Obama owes Tom D many favors, most of his Senate staff were Daschle staff.  It's making me see a little red through my blue lens this morning.  But, nothing new here when it comes to cabinet appointments.  I was just hoping maybe it would be very different this time around.  We shall see.

"The Shape I'm In" by Robbie Robertson (The Band)
Go out yonder, peace in the valley...
Come down town, have a rumble in the alley.
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in.
 

Has anybody seen my lady,
'Cause livin' alone will drive you crazy...
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in.

I'm gonna go down to the river,
But I ain't gonna jump in, no, no.
I'll just be lookin' for my baby,
'Cause I hear that that's where she's been.

Out of nine lives, I've spent seven.
How in the world do I get to Heaven?
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in.
Aw, here it comes!

I just spent sixty days in the jailhouse,
For the crime of havin' no dough, no.
Now here I am, back on the streets,
For the crime of havin' nowhere to go.

Save your neck, save your brother.
Looks like it's one or the other...
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in.
No, no, no.

Ooh, Lord, uh huh, I think I'm goin' down by the river.
But I ain't gonna jump in, no, no.
I'll just be lookin' for my baby,
'Cause I hear that that's where she's been.

Out of nine lives, I've spent seven.
How in the world do I get to Heaven?
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in.
Oh, I said: "Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in."
