no panhandling they say it isnt a job
|
oh but i disagree ya ignorant slob
|
but there may come a day, when yer found down & out
|
and the hateful replies will fill ya with doubt
|
ya might be a skater ya might be a punk
|
just give us a quarter so we can get drunk
|
thank you for shopping and please come again
|
|
you suffer to know, try even harder to see
|
making sense of yer life in a fucked reality
|
from decatur st. up to avenue-A
|
from El Guadelupe in texas to the san francisco bay
|
ya turned a spangin' job into a life long career
|
for a tin A' tabacco and a fourty of beer
|
now yer drinkin & yer thinkin is my bad luck runnin' out?
|
|
yer stopped by the cops & ya hope & ya wish
|
& yer askin real nice for them to letcha go
|
so they ask if they were shot in the street
|
would ya laugh in their face and ya can't say no
|
|
after all of the times that ya barely scraped by
|
with the lice in yer hair and the gleam in yer eye
|
now yer drinkin' and yer thinkin is my bad luck runnin' out?
|
|
with the cobra we drank and the shit we were talkin'
|
in the tenderloin gutter we were crack city rockin'
|
yeah when we were alive we were wicked and young
|
with the good times we had and the songs we sung
|
now it's sad that you died and i wish you would stay
|
but i sold all my stamps at the end of the day
|
and now i'm drinkin' and i'm thinkin' is my bad luck runnin' out?
|
|
Popeye:
|
(yeah bad luck man, plenty of that to go around
|
my good friend gone was always there to share it with me)
|
|
after all of the times that ya barely scraped by
|
with the lice in yer hair and the gleam in yer eye
|
now yer drinkin' and yer thinkin is my bad luck runnin' out?
|
|
i got assualted by officer friendly
|
on the 4th of july stick a needle in my eye
|
i said "i didn't do nothin'" & "whats this all about?"
|
he said "resisting arrest" as his pulled his baton out
|
spitting bile and blood as they left me for dead
|
my thoughts leaked out through a fissure in my head
|
and the last one left is: is my bad luck running out?
