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.
