Hangin’ in that Crucified Way

Hangin’ in the mornin' sun
I'll be hangin' when the evenin' comes
Suffrin’ ‘lone on my cross

Then I rise and roll away again
I'm hangin’ in that crucified way
tryin’ to rise and roll away
I'm hangin’ in that crucified way
Wastin' time

I left my home in Sicila
And I headed up the Appian Way
'Cause I wanted somethin' to live for
But Roman justice got in my way, so

I'm just a hangin’ in that crucified way
Tryin’ to rise and roll away
I'm hangin’ in that crucified way, wastin' time

Looks like nothin's gonna change
Doin’ time on the cross is my shame
I can't undo what four nails condemn me to do

So I guess I'll remain the same
I'm hangin' here restin' my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
This three hundred miles I roamed
Just to make this cross my home

Now I'm just hangin' in that crucified way
Tryin’ to rise and roll away
Hangin’ in that crucified way
And wastin' time

Apologies to Otis Redding ;)
 
A very poor follow, but Barb mentioning one of the great underrated groups of the sixties, got me going:

Corona Every Day

Apologies to Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention

Well I'm about to get sick
From watchin' my TV
Been checkin' out the news
Until my eyeballs fail to see
I mean to say that every day
Is just another rotten mess
And when it's gonna change, my friends
Is anybody's guess
So I'm watchin' and I'm waitin'
Hopin' for the best
Even think I'll go to prayin'
Every time I hear 'em sayin'
That there's no way to delay
That Corona comin' every day
No way to delay
That Corona comin' every day

Wednesday I watched the riot...
I seen the cops out on the street
Watched 'em throwin' rocks and stuff
And chokin' in their mask
Listened to reports
About the t-paper passin' 'round
Seen the smoke & fire
And the market burnin' down
Watched while everybody
On his street would take a turn
To cough and sneeze and spit and die
And slash and bust and burn
And I'm watchin' and I'm waitin'
Hopin' for the best
Even think I'll go to prayin'
Every time I hear 'em sayin'
That there's no way to delay
That Corona comin' every day
No way to delay
That Corona comin' every day

Well you can cool it,
You can heat it...
'Cause, baby, I don't need it...
Take your youtube news and eat it
'N all that phony stuff online
'N all the unconfirmed reports
You know I watched that rotten box
Until my head began to hurt
From checkin' out the way
The newsmen say they get the dirt
Before the guys on channel so-and-so
And further they assert
That any show they'll interrupt
To bring you deaths if they go up
They say that if the place blows up
They'll be the first to tell
Because the boys they got downtown
Are workin' in the hospital and counting up the corpse,
And if anybody gets the news
Before it hits the street,
They say that no one blabs it faster
Their coverage can't be beat
And if another Barbra driver
Gets machine-gunned from her seat
They'll send some joker with a straw-hat
And you'll see it all complete
So I'm watchin' and I'm waitin'
Hopin' for the best
Even think I'll go to prayin'
Every time I hear 'em sayin'
That there's no way to delay
That Corona comin' every day
No way to delay
That Corona comin' every day
