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 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've done to my song
Maybe it'll all be alright, Ma
Maybe it'll all be okay
If the people here are buying tears
I'll be rich someday
Look what they've done to my song
Ils ont changés ma chanson, Ma
Ils ont changés ma chanson
C'est la chose que je peux faire
Et ce n'est pas bon, Ma
Ils ont changés 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 turned out all wrong, Ma
Look what they've done to my soul
