After all of the times that ya barely scraped by with the lice in yer hair and the gleam in yer eye now yer drinkin' and yer thinkin' is my bad luck runnin' out?
I got assaulted by officer friendly on the 4th of July stick a needle in my eye I said "I didn't do nothin'" and "what's this all about?" he said "resisting arrest" as his pulled his baton out spitting bile and blood as they left me for dead my thoughts leaked out through a fissure in my head and the last one left was "is my bad luck running out?"
