i put my hands in my pockets,
sat down at this table to pray,
"Lord, take my arms out of their sockets,
"and let things remain that way."
I put my mouth to the bottle
And lift her ass into the air
so now the alcohol is racing full throttle
to drive away the last of my cares.

five points is swarming with assholes tonight.
i think that i'm one of them.
still, we make fun of them
"i bet his name's Jonathan"

well i said what i said and you know what i say,
so go to bed or just go away.
we pile on smiles to cover our dismay
and pull the covers back over our faces.

sez you.

i guess we been makin more money.
it's gettin harder to act poor.
but i find it to be rather funny
that i still ain't fixed my broke car door.
i worked real hard and i studied
to get that there college degree
so when i'm hittin the sauce with my buddies
we're comparing out literacy.

harden st is pockmarked with potholes these days
the damn government should do something
with all the tax on the gas i been pumpin
cos i'm startin to feel like a chump, man

well i said what i said and you know
what i say, so go to bed or just go away
we pile on smiles to cover our dismay
and pull the covers back over our faces

sez you
sez you
sez you

"oh wel
"oh well
"oh well
"oh well.

i took my money to market
but now it's all dried up and gone
so when the bus breaks down we'll just park it
and find some other way to carry on
cos my friends took me to the cleaners
but my suit just got wrinkled again
wasn't i dressed to impress?
but now there's nothing left, i mean,
i guess i should find some new friends.

making a living in music and art
is a really hard road to hoe down
so i better get the hell out of town
before i wind up in the ground.

cos i said what i said
and you know
what i say,
so go to bed or just go away.
we pile on the smiles til they cover our dismay
and pull the covers back over our faces.

sez you.
