Look what they've done to my song, Ma
Look what they've done to my song
Well, it's the only thing I could do half right
And it's turning out all wrong, Ma
Look what they've done to my song
Look what they've done to my brain, Ma
Look what they've done to my brain
They picked it like a chicken bone
And they think I'm half insane, Ma
Look what they've done to my song
Wish I could find a book to live in
Wish I could find a good book
If I could find a real good book
I'd never have to come out and look at
What they've done to my song
Maybe I'll be alright, Ma
Maybe I'll be okay
If the people are buying tears
I will be rich someday
Look what they've done to my song
Ils ont changé ma chanson, Ma...
Ils ont changé ma chanson
C'est la seule chose que je peux faire
Et çe n'est pas bon, Ma
Ils ont changé ma chanson
Look what they've done to my soul, Ma
Look what they've done to my soul
It's the only thing I could do half right
And it's turning out all wrong, Ma
Look what they've done to my song
