Look what they done to my song ma
Look what they done to my song
Well, it's the only thing that I could do half right
And it's turning out all wrong ma
Look what they done to my song

Look what they done to my brain ma
Look what they done to my brain
Well, they picked it like a chicken bone
And I think I'm half insane ma
Look what they 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 done to my song

Look what they done to my song
But maybe it'll all be alright ma, maybe it'll all be okay
Well, if the people are buying tears
I'll be rich someday ma
Look what they done to my song

Ils ont change ma chanson, ma
Ils ont change ma chanson

Look what they done to my song ma
Look what they done to my song ma
Well, they tied it up in a plastic bag
And turned it upside down ma
Look what they done to my song

C'est la seule chose que je peux faire
Et ce n'est pas bon, ma
Ils ont change ma chanson

Look what they done to my song ma
Look what they done to my song
It's the only thing I could do alright
And they turned it upside down
Oh ma, look what they done to my song
