[Intro. (Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar and Organ)]
|
|
Bag lady's complainin'
|
To the cop on the beat
|
She says she's got nowhere to go
|
She got nothin' to eat
|
|
Cop says, "Lady, have you considered
|
A life of crime?
|
You know you can eat real good
|
When you're doin' time"
|
|
And she has got no galleria
|
She's got no mall
|
All she's got is the street to lean on
|
And the gutter when she falls, yeah
|
|
[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]
|
|
Do you see them gang bangers?
|
They gonna have a fight
|
You know they gonna knock somebody's teeth out
|
Maybe put out somebody's lights
|
|
We're gonna have to bust 'em
|
Put 'em all away in jail
|
You know it's the nineteenth time this month
|
Ain't gonna be no bail
|
|
And they have got no galleria
|
They got no mall
|
All they got is the street to lean on
|
And the gutter when they fall
|
|
[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]
|
|
Fat lady with the wig on
|
She's down here buyin' antiques
|
She says "Can't you control these kids?
|
They're actin' like a bunch of freaks"
|
|
And the kids are givin' her the finger
|
They re talkin 'bout takin' her purse
|
And the street keeps gettin' hotter
|
The traffic keeps gettin' worse
|
|
And they have got no galleria
|
They got no mall
|
All they got is the street to lean on
|
And the gutter when they fall, yeah
|
|
[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]
|
|
Do you see that politician?
|
Don't he look sincere
|
You know he will promise you anything
|
As long as he's down here
|
|
But he's gonna go home to the valley
|
To his house and lawn
|
And we will still be here
|
When he is gone
|
|
And we have got no galleria
|
We got no mall
|
All we got is the street to lean on
|
And the gutter when we fall, yeah
|
|
We got is the street to lean on
|
And the gutter
|
|
