Mark Of Vaccination - Slim Cessna's Auto Club

I was standing inside the corner

Of my country

When for the first time ever

An airplane come, chose to speed over me

The pilot he gave me a secret special hello

He shook his wings at me

The co-pilot he threw down these curtains

From a cut-down tree

I guess he did not know

I cannot cipher I cannot read

And so I did not know

What these men in the sky

Wanted from me

God damn I know

The lord made me slow

God damn I know

The lord made me slow

I followed the plane it circled around

It landed on the main street of my home town

The pilot and co-pilot step out

And set up shop by the tail piece

The co-pilot gets a nod from the pilot

He clears his throat, starts all fancy talking, he says

«We're with the government

And if you want to be part of our nation

Then all you slow country people

Will need yourselves a mark of vaccination»

Well I guess he must have caught a cold

Riding around in all that open air machinery

Cause when he was done speechifying

He let out a deep whooping cough

That landed on my arm

Yeah, well, me coming from good manners and good people

Well, I just rolled up my sleeve

So as not to cause him any shame

Then the co-pilot looks at me and he says this right here

«Well, boy, I guess you’s gonna be the first to volunteer»

And I said, «Why, is there gonna be some fighting?»

«Oh, there’s gonna be some fighting alright»

And then I swear the copilot and pilot

«You rolled up your dirty country sleeve

They looked at each other and laughed just a little bit

You think you my highfalutin city ways?

And when I think about it

I think they might have been laughing at me

Well, country boy, you are so country slow

But I really don’t know

I’m just so goddamn slow

There is so much you will never, never, ever know"

God damn I know

The lord made me slow

God damn I know

The lord made me slow

And then the co-pilot whips out this horse sized needle

And he gouges me in the arm

Yeah, well, it was just below my sleeve roll

And the pain, it knocked me down to my business end

Yeah, well, then my cousin came

And whipped the hypodermic out of my muscle

And turned to revenge upon the men

And though I had much pain

I had to laugh

Because he hypodermicized their tires

And now the highfalutin government machine

Is moving as slow as me

Now the highfalutin government machine

Is moving as slow as me

All across the nation

All across this great nation

Moving as slow as me

God damn I know

The lord made me slow

God damn I know

The lord made me slow

God damn I know

The lord made me slow

God damn I know

The lord made me slow

Lord made me slow
