You've got a close eye on the world outside From the inside of your cage You're staring through the cracks in the drapes for a key With a midget on your back goin blind and mean How much could you ask for How much would you ask for
Something of use will come Of these worn out shoes Something of use will come Of these painful dues
The bastard's wearing the dresses now He bitches no one calls him by his name My baby she's got the blues Another rapist grows into his running shoes How much could you ask for How much would you ask for
Dear god can't you just leave me alone Said the martyr to the thief There's not enough room in this reflection for two And now one of us is gonna have to leave in peace Someday something of use will come Of these dried up tears Something of use will come Of the blood and the blues if we waste another year It's always someday
You lift yourself from the gutter to the grave They'll fax you your last rights Well maybe I said everything is all right Well they're just not unbearable
Yet how much would you Ask for how much could you ask for Someday something of use will come Of these lives that we choose Someday something of use will come Of the blood and the blues of this wasted youth Something of use will come
