johnnys in the basement

mixin up the medicine
im on the pavement thinkin about the government
man in a trench coat got job laid off
says he got a bad cough wants to get it paid off
look out kid it's something you did
god knows when but you're doing it again
you better duck down the alley way lookin for a new friend
the man in a coon skin cap in a pig pen
wants 11 dollar bills but you only got 10

maggie something fleet foot face full black soot
talkin bout the heat put plans in the bed but
phones tapped anyway maggie says many say
something about the DA
look out kids don't matter what you did
walk on tip toes don't try no dose
better stay away from those that carry around a fire hose
dont wash clean clothes you don't need a weatherman
to know which way the wind blows
