My bills are all due and the
baby needs shoes and I'm busted

I got a cow that went dry
and a hen that won't lay

A big stack of bills that
gets bigger each day

The county's gonna haul my
belongings away cause I'm busted.

I went to my brother to ask
for a loan cause I was busted

I hate to beg like a dog without
his bone, but I'm busted

Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spent all my money, didn't have any care

Then I began to fall so low
Lost all my good friends, had nowhere to go

Because nobody knows you
When you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends, you don't have any

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
I've had nothing to live for
Look like nothin's gonna come my way

So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

I am just a poor boy
Asking only workman's wages, I come looking for a job
But I get no offers

Everybody say I'm lazy
They all tell me get a job you slob,
I'd rather be a hobo walking round with nothing
Than a rich man scared of losing all he's got.

So I'm just sitting in the midday sun
Just soaking up that currant bun

In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refused to shine
You'll be dead before your time is due, I know

Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'
Watched his hair been turnin' gray
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away

We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do

War - The World is a Ghetto
