Donna Fargo - Society's Got Us Lyrics
Society's got us by the you-know-what we've been livin' way too high
We got champagne taste and a beer pocketbook and it's all we can do to get by
I keep sayin' I'll never bring it up again but I just can't keep still
Who ever heard of people poor as us drive a Cadillac Coupe DeVille
There outta be a law against living this way when we need little things like food
And I'm gonna have to spend my birthday money to pay the telephone bill
That's what I get for feeling the kind of hopes I can't afford to fill
'Cause society's got us by the you-know-what we're been livin' way too high
We got champagne taste and a beer pocketbook and it's all we can do to get by
And we can't afford this kind of rent but I know you wouldn't move
And who am I kiddin' I wouldn't either
Oh, it's our little way of feelin' big when you can't be big for real
And we do deserve these material things we just can't pay the bills
We're afflicted with a love and high class dreams
And we can't afford to dream
But knowin' all that and doin' somethin' 'bout it are two different things
'Cause society's got us by the you-know-what we're been livin' way too high
We got champagne taste and a beer pocketbook and it's all we can do to get by
Yes, society's got us by the you-know-what we're been livin' way too high
We got champagne taste and a beer pocketbook and it's all we can do to get by
Yes, society's got us by the you-know-what we're been livin' way too high
We got champagne taste and a beer pocketbook and it's all we can do to get by

Donna Fargo Society's Got Us Comments
Great song! Thank's for posting it!
I Hope this never gets deleted! I love this son so much and wish I could buy it!!! I have searched everywhere and its just not out there. I had it on vinyl years ago but the record was played so much it skipped and had to toss it :((((
Sweet!!
This was always my favorite of hers. I've got the old LP, but no way to play it anymore
! I bought the CD, and this song isn't on the CD version! I was very upset!!!
love this song so much
Do you mean you knew my family?
I tunes has the album but 2 of the original songs are missing and this is one of them. too bad this one was great!!
Is that a homemade CD? I have been looking for this on CD forever. I have the old vinyl record, but it is so worn and scratched. Great quality on your sound.
I have this album on an 8-track tape and it's one of my very favorites. Unfortunately, I don't have a working 8-track player. I have been listening to it since I was a very small child and I will be 40 this month.
This song is from Donna's first LP called "The Happiest Girl in the Whole USA".
