Letra de 'Requiem Of The Crazies' de Rusty Cage

It’s kinda hard being a bum in this town
Where the kids run wild, running all around
We go by behind without a sound, and we all got stories to tell
Put a penny in the cup, you might hear us moan
I'm just a dollar short of catching the Grey Hound home
And God bless you sir, you won’t see me no more
Cause I'll be drunk behind the Jiffy store

But I’m gonna get straight if it’s the last thing I can bare
I’d get my life together if someone would care
And if I should die before my time is through
Tell all the people who I was

On a bench, sour stench, clutching my booze
A pair of swiss cheese socks and tore up shoes
Whiskey breath, dumpster chef, next to taco bell
I dropped my aspirations down a wishing well
Drunkin' stance, piss my pants, piano key teeth
All these things will blind you from the man beneath
I’m not a fool, I been to school, I’ve read Sun Tzu
You see us bums are people too

So I’m back in jail, I can’t make bail, I get my three square meals
Oh, how I’ve forgotten how a bed and pillow feels
I’ll take a breath, there’s nothing left
I lay my head, the bible said
To all those weary I will give you rest

But I’m gonna get straight if it’s the last thing I can bare
I’d get my life together if someone would care
And if I should die before my time is through
Tell all the people who I was

On the streets, where I sleep, Bullet is my name
You see, I lost my wife and child and the whiskey is to blame
So I been teaching gospels to the crazies on the curb
Among all these people I’ll achieve my fame
Cause I can’t get a job cause the dirt on my face
I can’t find no food or a resting place
I ain’t a bad guy, Lord knows I try
And I’ll probably rot here in the alley where I die

I’m gonna get straight if it’s the last thing I can bare
I’d get my life together if someone would care
And if I should die before my time is through
Tell all the people who I was
