lyrics

Black Clad Crusty Kid

well some say i'm a no good nothin', cookoo crazy
loon
cos i get stoned in the mornin' and smoke on
through the afternoon
but i don't care what they say cos i ain't askin' them
for nothin'
just take what i can get for free, take every
advantage when no one's lookin'
well i like to play in the sun all day or lay around in
the shade
with nothin' to lose, nothin' to gain, not a dime to my
name
and now i might be a poor kid but i damn sure got it
made
i'm eatin' in luxury where the food is free at the
dumpster dive buffet

and if you don't like the way i'm living, you can just
leave this black clad crusty kid alone...

that preacher man tried to speak to me about the
lords word he calls “Truth.”
he said, “If Jesus were here today son, now ask
yourself, what would Jesus do?”
i shrugged my shoulders, said “I don't know, 9/11
number two?”
he said “Boy! What in Sam's Hell is wrong with you!?
Why that devil must got you!”
ya see, the church just wants your obedience, and
that boss just wants your time
everybody's driving cars, trucks, and S.U.V.'s but
hey, hitchhikers do need rides
them politicians and that president, well they just
want your vote
now i don't want much of nothing at all but i'll sure
take another toke

well, i never went to college, hell, i won't even go to
work
cos this young heart is a kingdom, this working fools
heart the slums
now i might be a little unkempt, a bit unshaven and
pretty damn smelly
dressed in rags with patchwork pants, holes in socks
and no damn undies
ya see, i started out with nothing and i still got most
of it left
cos i'd rather live out of a tent than bust my ass to
pay bills and make rent
these ink stains on the backs of my hands constantly
reminding me
i've got a choice in life, wage slavery or break them
chains and LIVE FREE!
