Johannesburg! Johannesburg! Johannesburg! |
| [00:16.598] |
I'd like to do a most disgusting song for you |
| [00:34.698] |
I've played every kind of gig there is to play now |
| [00:38.409] |
I've played faggot bars, hooker bars, motorcycle funerals |
| [00:42.708] |
In opera houses, concert halls, halfway houses |
| [00:51.837] |
Well I found that in all these places that I've played |
| [00:56.154] |
All the people that I've played for are the same people |
| [01:00.778] |
So if you'll listen, maybe you'll see someone you know in this song |
| [01:05.811] |
A most disgusting song |
| [01:09.350] |
The local diddy bop pimp comes in |
| [01:12.630] |
Acting limp he sits down with a grin |
| [01:16.815] |
Next to a girl that has never been chased |
| [01:21.146] |
The bartender wipes a smile off his face |
| [01:26.111] |
The delegates cross the floor |
| [01:29.851] |
Curtsy and promenade through the doors |
| [01:34.177] |
And slowly the evening begins |
| [01:43.310] |
And there's Jimmy "Bad Luck" Butts |
| [01:47.026] |
Who's just crazy about them East Lafayette weekend sluts |
| [01:51.300] |
Talking is the lawyer in crumpled up shirt |
| [01:54.989] |
And everyone's drinking the detergents |
| [01:57.340] |
That cannot remove their hurts |
| [01:59.731] |
While the Mafia provides your drugs |
| [02:03.879] |
Your government will provide the shrugs |
| [02:08.162] |
And your national guard will supply the slugs |
| [02:12.152] |
So they sit all satisfied |
| [02:17.872] |
And there's old playboy Ralph |
| [02:21.005] |
Who's always been shorter than himself |
| [02:25.226] |
And there's a man with his chin in his hand |
| [02:29.452] |
Who knows more than he'll ever understand |
| [02:33.350] |
Yeah, every night it's the same old thing |
| [02:37.339] |
Getting high, getting drunk, getting horny |
| [02:42.516] |
At the Inn-Between, again |
| [02:50.472] |
And there's the bearded schoolboy with the wooden eyes |
| [02:54.512] |
Who at every scented skirt whispers up and sighs |
| [02:58.615] |
And there's a teacher that will kiss you in French |
| [03:03.298] |
Who could never give love, could only fearfully clench |
| [03:06.668] |
Yeah, people every night it's the same old thing |
| [03:11.016] |
Getting pacified, ossified, affectionate at Mr. Flood's party, again |
| [03:23.790] |
And there's the militant with his store-bought soul |
| [03:28.167] |
There's someone here who's almost a virgin I've been told |
| [03:32.155] |
And there's Linda glass-made who speaks of the past |
| [03:36.070] |
Who genuflects, salutes, signs the cross and stands at half-mast |
| [03:40.925] |
Yeah, They're all here, the Tiny Tims and the Uncle Toms |
| [03:44.624] |
Redheads, brunettes, brunettes, and the dyed haired blondes |
| [03:48.914] |
Who talk to dogs, chase broads and have hopes of being mobbed |
| [03:53.098] |
Who mislay their dreams and later claim that they were robbed |
| [03:57.999] |
And every night it's going to be the same old thing |
| [04:01.994] |
Getting high, getting drunk, getting horny |
| [04:06.306] |
Lost, even, at Martha's Vineyard, again |
