I sat next to a man on a park bench next to a hotdog stand he said,
Gcatch the dragon’s tail if you can. it’s a rush man!
it’s a bad plan but if you get your fix maybe the fifth or sixth time
it’s a life it’s a lie.
CI said I’m through with coke he said you want some dope?
I choked and said I meant the drink man, what did you think man?
Cand we sat on your front steps I killed a bug with a cigarette
Gand you told about your first hit and I felt bad, I felt bad.
I said this one needs a chorus, maybe a sludgy number with some minor chords
G C Gthat they can tap their toes to, and not get bored because it rhymes.
Cthen I gave this ring to you in hopes that we’d stay gold till we grow old
abby lee come away with me.
Clets get lost and maybe be happy someday have a house
Gwith trees on a lane so shady I know it’s sappy
and I got up and went for a walk got down the block
Ggot stung by a wasp she was mid-fifties
C Gwhite anglo-saxon square they’re not going anywhere.
got into a fist and cuff with my boss. I lost. he was pretty tough
Gso I left and dropped my smoke. felt like a joke, felt like a joke
Cand I stumbled down my street on two broken feet past the bank
who I forgot to thank for their correspondence found out I was broke.
Cin fact worst then broke they can pinch and poke and push the yoke
Gwhile the rich man laughs oh what a gas oh what a funny fucked up joke
and I passed a black man with a blank stare we share the same air doesn’t
seem fair
Gthat the poor get no healthcare while the rich and bald can buy new hair,
its fucked!
Cno mister I don’t mean to stare at your brand new car no you don’t care
Gwe can go to war, or if your wife’s a whore. fuck the poor! you snooze, your
sore!
Call they do is snore that’s why I lock my front door and if something’s lost
you just
G C
call the cops, call the cops while people just want jobs where they don’t
get robbed
Gwho do we call, when you get robbed.
Cwho really scores all the dirty drugs is it the rich or thugs? I can tell
you that it
aint the poor. mister keep your stocks and shares, corner offices and
executive chairs
GI broke my last red cent for my woman’s love
and mister I can’t pay the rent this month, no mister I can’t pay the rent
this month
