Gone Jackals - Barrel Of Crabs lyrics

I was born there, before I knew better. Went to school there, but learned to avoid that. Fell in love there, but love couldn t thrive there. Picked it up and I left it behind, said - Man, alive! get me out of this barrel of crabs. Most our homes were depressed by division. What pa**ed for friendship was really protection . Any work there disolved into trouble. Ate me up, livin life on the bubble, said - Man, alive! get me out of this barrel of crabs. Everytime I d gain some ground, another man s scheme would just pull me back down. Everytime I spied the top. the next poor s**er s there to give me the drop.
