i’m out here fighting hungry
the fish ain’t biting
life’s so frightening
i’m out here stumbling
broke and crumbling
and nothing’s hatching
and i ain’t catching
nothing nothing
nothing nothing nothing
i’m running last in this human race
trying to get over this hopeless place
trying to find that no defense
that i can’t win with no confidence
and meanwhile in dc
tricky dick is trying to be slick
and the short end of the stick
because i’m gonna get it
tricky dick please quit
nothing nothing
nothing nothing nothing
i’ve been trying to recover
from that phase one
but it’s just too hard when
the damage is already done
lord we will overcome
or am i just destined
destined to be a bum
with phase two
i thought i was through
in phase four gonna
take me out the back door
this i know it’s for sure
i’m on my knees begging please
tricky dick stop your shit
nothing nothing
can’t afford to be lazy
when the cost of living’s
gone crazy
