Current song lyrics
Blackout, heatwave, .44 caliber homicide<br />The buns drop dead and dogs go mad<br />In packs on the West Side<br />Young girl standing on a ledge looks like another suicide<br />She wants to hit those bricks<br />'Cause the news at six gotta stick to a deadline<br />While the millionaires hide in Beekman Place<br />The bag ladies throw their bones in my face<br />I get attacked by a kid with stereo sound<br />I don't want to hear it but he won't turn it down<br />Life is tough but it's just enough<br />To hold back the tears until it's closing time<br />I survived, I'm still alive<br />But I'm getting close to the borderline<br />Close to the borderline<br /><br />A buck three eighty<br />Won't buy you much lately on the street these days<br />And when you can get gas<br />You know you can't drive fast anymore on the parkways<br />Rich man, poor man, either way American<br />Shoved into the lost and found<br />The no nuke yell we're gonna all go to hell<br />With the next big meltdown<br />I got remote control and a color T.V.<br />I don't change channels so they must change me<br />I got real close friends that will get me high<br />They don't know how to talk and they ain't gonna try<br />I shouldn't bitch, I shouldn't cry<br />I'd start a revolution but I don't have time<br />I don't know why I'm still a nice guy<br />But I'm getting close to the borderline<br />Close to the borderline<br /><br />I thought I'd sacrifice so many things<br />I thought I'd throw them all away<br />I didn't think I needed anything<br />But you can't afford to squander what you're not prepared to pay<br /><br />I need a doctor for my pressure pills<br />I need a lawyer for my medical bills<br />I need a banker to finance my home<br />I need security to back my loan<br />It isn't new what I'm going through<br />But everybody knows you got to break sometime<br />Another night I fought the good fight<br />But I'm getting closer to the borderline<br />Closer to the borderline.
