Biography:
From the village of Makanda in extreme southern Illinois, in a little hollow called Vulture Valley, comes a "caustic acoustic cacophony" known as the Woodbox Gang. They have skillfully combined the American roots music styles of bluegrass, delta blues, folk, and traditional country with the aggressive delivery of punk rock to create their own style of music to which they have given the name "Trashcan Americana". The band is very interested in experimenting

Bad Veins
VERSE 1
Gm Bb Gm
I don't have matching socks
Gm Bb Gm
I don't have a door that locks
Gm Bb
I live in cardboard box
Gm Bb
Sell a pint of blood for fifteen bucks
Gm Bb Gm
That's how a bum like me can get a drink
When the monsoon season came I escaped the rain
I hitched a ride on a railroad train
Well I went into that Illinois blood bank
Doctor said, “Son you've got bad veins”
Now, how's a bum like me gonna get a drink?
It's like a brain surgeon who's gone insane
A one eyed assassin with bad aim
How in the hell is a bum like me supposed to get a drink
When the doctor says, “Son you've got bad veins”
CHORUS
Gm Bb
You've got bad veins (You've got bad veins)
VERSE 2
Well I know my old veins may not be the best
You can slit my wrist over a bucket leave me the excess
I don't care if you stick a sump pump right through my chest
Give me the money I'll clean up the mess
And then a bum like me can get a drink
It's like a porn queen dying of AIDS
A Romeo telling Juliet he's gay
How in the hell is a bum like me supposed to get a drink
When the doctor says, “Son you've got bad veins”
VERSE 3
Now I'm broke and sober and I feel the pain
Of all the blood returning to my brain
My blood alcohol content is normal again
Good blood flowing through bad veins
But how's a bum like me gonna get a drink
It's like all of Jesus' disciples cursing his name
All except for Judas who holds his head in shame
How in the hell is a bum like me supposed to get a drink
When the doctor says, “Son you've got bad veins”
