Black Sheep of the Family
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 a half a pair of shoes And no time to lose I'm wondering when I'm going to wise up So fortune shine your light on me and my nose Cause we 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 A mission called retrogression I've got 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 all the folks are living high up the hog I'm the black sheep of the family Don't talk to me about society You got to play the rules Or pay the penalty Because there's nothing to choose Between a handful of blues Double indemnity All the words are wrong, And my shadow's getting long I realise this song don't mean much I got an ache in my head And want to go to bed Tomorrow I don't have to wake up, no So wisdom shine your light on me and my knees Cause it's true what they say about familiarity There's nothing good this way, It's true they say I'm the black sheep of the family Oh, my 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 they say I'm the black sheep of the family Yeah, yeah I'm the black sheep of the family Just me and my dog, yeah, yeah I'm the black sheep of the family Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm the black sheep of the family You got me on my knees I'm the black sheep of the family Yeah, yeah, yeah
