lyrics

good morning sunshine its a brand new day
still the same old shit in the same old way
we got to our leaders looking for help
but the dirty old bastards dont share know wealth
so we scrimp and save just to survive
all cause the rich man wont come off no dime

each day a little different some a little worse
but even ll the good ones have the groundhogs day curse
my moneys all gone and hope is a dream
out on the streets is one hell of a scene

everybody keeps saying it'll be ok
but I can keep no faith when I cant get no pay
so I go down to teh church house gonna talk to the lord
but the preacher man just wanna know did I pay at the door

Johnny Law's knocking and the bill man too
there's the landlord and the gas man hell sometimes even you
they all wanting something and it aint just my time
they dont want just a dollar they want my nickles and dimes

aint got no brothers and sisters to show you they care
only anger and hatred we got plenty to share
so the moral of the story is a straight shot I shoot
when the man offers you a hand he really means the boot
