Lyrics

I've got nothing in my head, got a floor for a bed
My future's at the bottom of a teacup
I've got half a pair of shoes and no time to lose
I'm wondering when I'm gonna wise up

So, fortune, shine your light on me and my nose
Cause I need some security
You get a little bad luck and it grows and it grows
I'm the black sheep of the family

I've got half a pound of rice, a beard full of lice
Political retrogression
I've got a pocket full of dust, and eating is a must
If you want to make a good impression

So, fortune shine your light on me and my dog
Cause we need some security
While other folks are living high on the hog
I'm the black sheep of the family

Don't talk to me about society
You got to play by the rules or pay the penalty
Because there's nothing to choose between a handful of blues
Double indemnity

The whole world's wrong and my shadow's getting long
I realize this song don't mean much
I got an ache in my head. I want to go to bed
Tomorrow I don't have to wake up

So, wisdom shine your light on me and my knees
It's true what they say about familiarity
There's nothing good this way, it's true what they say!
I'm the black sheep of the family
