Il testo dell'eccezionale nuovo singolo del grande cantante!
In 20-0-3
music and lyrics by Joe Jackson
In 20-0-3
A man drank a whisky
And then a martini or three, maybe four
He climbed in his car
And roared off at eighty
And that night he checked out
Along with three more
So they cleaned up the mess
But they didn't ban cars
And they didn't ban whisky or gin
So do what you want
Or do what they tell you
It's the land of the free, but don't take it too far
You can do what you want
You can smash up your car
But in 20-0-3 you can't smoke in a bar
In 20-0-3
A man ate a burger
And then ate another, or two, every day
At last he keeled over
But no one could lift him
And there's millions just like him
And millions to pay
So they issued more warnings
But they didn't ban eating
And they don't ban potatoes or grease
So do what you want
Or do what they tell you
It's the land of the free, but don't take it too far
You can do what you want
You can live just on lard
But in 20-0-3 you can't smoke in a bar
In 20-0-3
A man joined the army
And soon he got shipped out to fight in Iraq
He got caught in a crossfire
And lost his right arm
But they didn't ban bullets
Or missile attacks
He's on his way home now
And who wants to tell him
He can't have a smoke with his beer?
So do what you want
Or do what they tell you
It's the land of the free, but don't take it too far
You can do what you want
You can march off to war
But in 20-0-3 you can't smoke in a bar
