got a 5th floor view
looking over the town
said goodbye to my blues
from the basement lounge
i ain't never seen days like this before
got newspaper eyes
and a magazine face
you been spitting out lies
you been whining about race
i ain't never seen days like this before
had a fall from grace
humbled by the world
now you got to save face
with your gold and pearls
i ain't never seen days like this before
he's a plastic man
got a tourtured soul
lives in neverland
not the king no more
i ain't never seen days like this before
got 10 commands
can't say them out loud
you'll get the back of my hand
cause i'm saved and proud
i ain't never seen days like this before
don't drive no german benz
gonna pay my way
i got plenty of friends
they all come to stay
i ain't never seen days like this before
