Lyrics:
johnny's in the basement mixing up the medicine
im on the pavement thinking about the government
the man in the trench coat, badge out, laid off
says he's got a bad cough, wants to get paid off
look out kid
it's something you did
God knows when but youre doing it again
you better duck down the alleyway
lookin for a new friend
the man in the coonskin cap in the big pen
wants eleven dollar bills, but you only got ten
Maggie comes fleet foot, face full of black soot
talkin that the heat put plants in the bed but
the phones tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
they must bust in early May,orders from the DA
look out kid
don't matter what you did
walk on your tip toes, dont try "no doz"
better stay away from those
that carry around a fire hose
keep a clean nose, watch the plain clothes
you don't need a weather man
to know which way the wind blows
get sick get well, hang around an ink well
ring bell, hard to tell if anything is going to sell
try hard, get barred, get back, ride the rails
get jailed, jump bail, join the army if you fail
look out kid
you're gonna get hit
by users, cheaters, six time losers
hang around the theaters
girl by the whirlpool, lookin for a new fool
don't follow leaders, watch the parking meters
ah get born, keep warm
short pants, romance, learn how to dance
get dressed, get blessed
try to be a success
please her, please him, buy gifts
don't steal, don't lift
twenty years of schooling
and they put you on the day shift
look out kid
they keep it all hid
better jump down a manhole, light yourself a candle
don't wear sandals, you cant afford the scandal
don't wanna be a bum, you better chew gum
the pump don't work
cause the vandals took the handles.
