The Union Forever
The White Stripes · Under Great White Northern Lights [2010]
it can't be love
for there is no true love
it can't be love
for there is no true love
sure i'm C.F.K.
but you gotta love me
the cost no man can say
but you gotta love me
well i'm sorry but i'm not
intrested in gold mines,
oil wells, shipping, or real state,
what would i liked to have been?
everything you hate
there is a man
a certain man
and for the poor
you may be sure
that he'll do all he can
who is this one
whose favorite son
just by his action
has the traction magnets on the run
who likes to smoke
enjoys a joke
and wouldn't get
a bit upset
if he were really broke
with wealth and fame
he's still the same
i'll bet you five
you're not alive
if you don't know his name
you said the union forever
you said the union forever
you cried the union forever
but that was untrue girl
cause it can't be love
for there is no true love
it can't be love
for there is no true love
for there is no true love
it can't be love
for there is no true love
sure i'm C.F.K.
but you gotta love me
the cost no man can say
but you gotta love me
well i'm sorry but i'm not
intrested in gold mines,
oil wells, shipping, or real state,
what would i liked to have been?
everything you hate
there is a man
a certain man
and for the poor
you may be sure
that he'll do all he can
who is this one
whose favorite son
just by his action
has the traction magnets on the run
who likes to smoke
enjoys a joke
and wouldn't get
a bit upset
if he were really broke
with wealth and fame
he's still the same
i'll bet you five
you're not alive
if you don't know his name
you said the union forever
you said the union forever
you cried the union forever
but that was untrue girl
cause it can't be love
for there is no true love
it can't be love
for there is no true love
