Eugene McDaniels - Welfare City lyrics

Honey, if you can spare a dime Pick up the phone and call me sometime I live in the Bowery near St. Marks Hang out with the kids In Washington Park, yeah My name don't matter, 'cause I'm just me Got no secrets and my life is free Not very smart, not very pretty Just a member of Welfare City, yeah La la la la la la [Repeat] Smoke a joint, yeah, yeah, yeah La la la la la la [Repeat] Smoke a joint, yeah, yeah Manhole cover man doing what he can To make his life go according to plan Tries to feel good, he was born a jerk His mind is rigid And his thing don't work, yeah Law and order meets status quo It's getting so there's no place to go Sometimes I feel bang bang chitty chitty Just a member of Welfare City, yeah, yeah La la la la la la [Repeat] Smoke a joint, yeah, yeah, yeah La la la la la la [Repeat] Smoke a joint, yeah, yeah Honey, if you can lend an ear Look at my mouth and see what you hear I did major in philosophy But my mind is open And my heart is free, yeah Honey, if you can spare a dime Pick up the phone and call me sometime I live in the Bowery near St. Marks Hang out with the kids In Washington Park, yeah, yeah La la la la la la [Repeat] Smoke a joint, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah La la la la la la [Repeat] Smoke a joint, yeah
