Intro
Verse 1
Johny's in the base
ment,
Mixing up the medi
cine
I'm on the pave
ment,
Thinking about the govern
ment
The
man in the trench
coat,
Badge out, laid
off
Says he's got a bad
cough,
Wants to get it paid
off
Look out kid It's somethin' you did
God knows when,
But you're
doin' it again
You
better
duck down the alley
way
Lookin' for a new
friend
The
man in the coon-skip cap, In the big pen
Wants
eleven dollar bills,
You only got
ten.
Verse 2
Maggie comes fleet
foot,
Face full of black
soot
Talkin' that the heat
put,
Plants in the bed
but
The
phone's tapped any
way,
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,
Don't 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
Verse 3
Get sick, get
well,
Hang around an ink
well
Ring bell, hard to
tell,
If anything is goin' to
sell
Try hard, get bar
red,
Get back, write B
raille
Get jailed, jump
bail
Join the army, if you
fail
Look out kid, You're gonna get hit
By
losers, chea
ters,
Six-time
users
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool lookin' for a new fool
Don't follow
leaders,
Watch the parkin' meters.
Verse 4
Ah
get born, keep
warm
Short pants,
romance,
learn 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 schoolin'
And they
put you on the day
shift
Look out kid, They keep it all hid
Better
jump down a man
hole
Light yourself a
candle,
Don't wear san
dals
Try to avoid the scan
dals
Don't wanna be a bum, You better chew gum
The
pump don't work
'Cause the
vandals took the handles.
