[00:48.566] |
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin'under |
[01:01.958] |
Broken glass everywhere |
[01:03.802] |
People pissin'on the stairs,you know they just don't care |
[01:06.798] |
I can't take the smell,can't take the noise |
[01:08.750] |
Got no money to move out,I guess I got no choice |
[01:10.902] |
Rats in the front room,roaches in the back |
[01:13.366] |
Junkies in the alley with a baseball bat |
[01:15.415] |
I tried to get away but I couldn't get far |
[01:18.287] |
'cuz a man with a tow truck repossessed my car |
[01:20.707] |
Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge |
[01:25.357] |
I'm trying not to lose my head |

Standin'on the front stoop hangin'out the window |
[01:37.167] |
Watchin'all the cars go by,roarin'as the breezes blow |
[01:39.552] |
Crazy lady,livin'in a bag |
[01:41.707] |
Eatin'outta garbage pails,used to be a fag hag |
[01:45.27] |
Said she'll dance the tango,skip the light fandango |
[01:46.968] |
A Zircon princess seemed to lost her senses |
[01:49.222] |
Down at the peep show watchin'all the creeps |
[01:51.82] |
So she can tell her stories to the girls back home |
[01:53.367] |
She went to the city and got so so seditty |
[01:55.623] |
She had to get a pimp,she couldn't make it on her own |
[01:58.866] |

My brother's doin'bad,stole my mother's TV |
[02:19.822] |
Says she watches too much,it's just not healthy |
[02:21.676] |
"All My Children"in the daytime,"Dallas"at night |
[02:24.171] |
Can't even see the game or the Sugar Ray fight |
[02:27.216] |
The bill collectors,they ring my phone |
[02:29.531] |
and scare my wife when I'm not home |
[02:31.873] |
Got a bum education,double-digit inflation |
[02:33.171] |
Can't take the train to the job,there's a strike at the station |
[02:36.608] |
Neon King Kong standin'on my back |
[02:38.291] |
Can't stop to turn around,broke my sacroiliac |
[02:40.286] |
A mid-range migraine,cancered membrane |
[02:43.797] |
Sometimes I think I'm goin'insane |

My son said,Daddy,I don't wanna go to school |
[03:44.917] |
'cuz the teacher's a jerk,he must think I'm a fool |
[03:47.237] |
And all the kids smoke reefer,I think it'd be cheaper |
[03:49.498] |
if I just got a job,learned to be a street sweeper |
[03:52.142] |
Or dance to the beat,shuffle my feet |
[03:54.612] |
Wear a shirt and tie and run with the creeps |
[03:57.62] |
'cuz it's all about money,ain't a damn thing funny |
[03:59.322] |
You got to have a con in this land of milk and honey |
[04:02.02] |
They pushed that girl in front of the train |
[04:04.177] |
Took her to the doctor,sewed her arm on again |
[04:06.572] |
Stabbed that man right in his heart |
[04:08.947] |
Gave him a transplant for a brand new start |
[04:11.213] |
I can't walk through the park 'cuz it's crazy after dark |
[04:13.212] |
Keep my hand on my gun 'cuz they got me on the run |
[04:16.257] |
I feel like a outlaw,broke my last glass jaw |
[04:18.162] |
Hear them say "You want some more?" |
[04:19.582] |

A child is born with no state of mind |
[04:51.191] |
Blind to the ways of mankind |
[04:53.616] |
God is smilin'on you but he's frownin'too |
[04:56.31] |
Because only God knows what you'll go through |
[04:58.456] |
You'll grow in the ghetto livin'second-rate |
[04:59.986] |
And your eyes will sing a song called deep hate |
[05:03.200] |
The places you play and where you stay |
[05:05.684] |
Looks like one great big alleyway |
[05:07.900] |
You'll admire all the number-book takers |
[05:10.409] |
Thugs,pimps and pushers and the big money-makers |
[05:12.110] |
Drivin'big cars,spendin'twenties and tens |
[05:15.124] |
And you'll wanna grow up to be just like them,huh |
[05:17.605] |
Smugglers,scramblers,burglars,gamblers |
[05:19.825] |
Pickpocket peddlers,even panhandlers |
[05:22.240] |
You say I'm cool,huh,I'm no fool |
[05:24.365] |
But then you wind up droppin'outta high school |
[05:26.935] |
Now you're unemployed,all non-void |
[05:29.390] |
Walkin'round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd |
[05:31.642] |
Turned stick-up kid,but look what you done did |
[05:33.985] |
Got sent up for a eight-year bid |
[05:36.365] |
Now your manhood is took and you're a Maytag |
[05:38.830] |
Spend the next two years as a undercover fag |
[05:41.35] |
Bein'used and abused to serve like hell |
[05:43.303] |
'til one day,you was found hung dead in the cell |
[05:45.620] |
It was plain to see that your life was lost |
[05:48.295] |
You was cold and your body swung back and forth |
[05:50.385] |
But now your eyes sing the sad,sad song |
[05:52.950] |
Of how you lived so fast and died so young so... |
[05:55.411] |
Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge |
[06:00.86] |
I'm trying not to lose my head |
[06:04.54] |
