Last call for the poverty train
|
Last call for the poverty train
|
|
It looks good and dirty
|
On shiny light strip
|
And if you don't get beat
|
You got yourself a trip
|
|
You can see the walls roar
|
See your brains on the floor
|
Become God
|
Become cripple
|
Become funky and split
|
Why was I born?
|
|
Oh baby, I just saw the devil
|
And he's smiling at me
|
I heard my bones cry
|
Devil, why's it got to be?
|
|
Devil played with my brother
|
Devil drove my mother
|
Now, the tears in the gutter
|
Are flooding the sea
|
Why was I born?
|
|
Oh baby, it looks good and dirty
|
Them shiny lights glow
|
A million night tramps
|
Tricks and tracks
|
Will come and go
|
You're starvin' today
|
But who cares anyway?
|
|
Baby, it feels like I'm dying
|
Now, I swear there's something better than
|
Gettin' off on sweet cocaine
|
It feels so good
|
It feels so good
|
Getting off the poverty train
|
|
Morning...
