lyrics

MAN WITHOUT A PAST

Beneath a train on State street
A simpleton behold
Clinging to a satchel
And all that he's been told
Underneath his suit he's angry
And wants you all to pay
Before you slap the cuffs on
And carry him away . . .

Look at the hookers with their hundred dollar hats
Skyward snouts like common household cats
Life is fine and dandy
For the prudish namby pamby
If we're all the same
Then spread the blame
Till we die like rats

I think we can agree evrybody hates a tourist
Raping the scenery. Very, very foolish
Life's a budding flower
When you're the one in power
But nobody knows
Why the public chose
Man without a past

It looks like a beautiful doomsday
What I wouldn't give to hear you say
Goodbye. Goodbye.

Raise your fists but you don't know what you're in for
Sidewalk savages with nothing left to live for
Can't get a favor if you ask it of your neighbor
Oh no, not so fast
Who is he, you ask?
Man without past


Same solitaire where you seldom see the joker
Boo-hoo commuter to and fro so mediorce
Smiling complacent
When I'm crazy and impatient
What did you expect?
Next time skip the check
Man without a past

It looks like a terrible Tuesday
What I wouldn't give to hear you say
Goodbye. Goodbye.


END.
