I’ve been washing myself down in your backwaters
|
I’ve been filling up my lungs in your city streets
|
I’ve seen the up-side and the down of your servant’s quarters
|
I’ve been grinding down my hands in your empty fields
|
|
So spare me some extra before you go
|
There’s a man who cashes cheques at the liquor store
|
|
Chorus:
|
|
I’m not asking for charity
|
Just help me till the next time I get paid
|
I don’t care if you need me
|
Just keep me…. In the black for another day
|
|
I’ve sent a letter of application a 1000 times
|
I’ve been trying to climb the ladder in a borrowed tie
|
But you never give me a call back when you say
|
And you put me on the long figure for another day
|
|
So spare me some extra before you go
|
There’s a man who cashes cheques at the liquor store
|
|
Chorus
