THE LOW RENT ROAD TO HAPPINESS
INTRODUCTION
All up and down Sisowath Quai
The power’s going down again
In the hotels for the tourists
Generators are kicking in
VERSE 1
We got batteries, we got candles
No need to go out to the store
We just came back from Happy Pizza
We don’t even need to score
VERSE 2
We’ve got all of life’s essentials
We got no stress, no “buy and sell”
Music, sex and marijuana
In our funky cheap hotel
PRE-CHORUS
We get stuff so cheap it’s almost free
Best-sellers from ‘73
CDs, DVDs for two dollars cash
And computer programs, even some that don’t crash
CHORUS
We’re on the low rent road to happiness
We took the low rent road to find our bliss
And you can e-mail me at the Internet Café
If you know of something better than this
VERSE 3
On the road from Siem Reap back to Bangkok
With a few friends we can trust
People pulling carts like oxen
Look like statues made of dust
VERSE 4
We’re only ten miles from the border
Can’t let them catch us with our stash
Come on stranger won’t you help us
Smoke up all our grass and hash?
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS x 2
