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
