lyrics

- RIGAMAROLE - Benjamin Arthur Ellis

-this town used to be so doggone easy
now it seem to get harder everywhere I go
y'got too many fingers in the pot and the palms get greasy
how we 'posed to get over baby I don't know, let's go, come on y'all

-every day, everywhere I go, got me stuck up in some rigamarole
every time I try to go to the store, got me stuck up in some rigamarole
everything that I try to do, take all my patience just to get me through
and every day everywhere I go, got me stuck up in some rigamarole

-try to straighten out the DMV, got a hundred fifty people up ahead of me
pothole streets like a bad joke, every gas station gotcha air pump broke
IRS wanna piece of me, seem my Individual Freedoms sure as hell aint free
and every day everywhere I go, got me stuck up in some rigamarole

-stuck up in some rigamarole...

-every day, everywhere I go, got me stuck up in some rigamarole...

-stuck up in some rigamarole...
