Black Sheep of the Family
I got nothing in my headGot a floor for a bedThe future's at the bottom of a tea cupI got a half a pair of shoesAnd no time to loseI'm wondering when I'm going to wise upSo Fortune shine your light on me and my clothesCause we need some securityYou get a little bad luckAnd it grows and it grows
I'm the black sheep of the familyI've got half a pound of riceA beard full of liceA mission called retrogressionI got pocket full of dustAnd eating is a must
You want to make a good impressionSo Fortune shine your light on me and my dogCause we need some securityWhile all the folks are living high up the hillI'm the black sheep of the familyDon't talk to me about societyYou got to play the rulesOr pay the penaltyBecause a hand full of bluesDouble indemnityThe hour was goneAnd my shadow's getting longMy real life's a song on meBut I've got an ache in my headI want to go to bedTomorrow I don't have to wake up
So Wisdom shine your light on me and my knees
Cause it's true what they say about familiarityThere's nothing good this way |x2 timesAnd it's true what they sayI'm the black sheep of the family
