| If I had a cigarette every time a perfect stranger asked me for a cigarette
|
| then I’d have enough cigarettes to get me through the day.
|
| And if I had some spare change every time a perfect stranger asked me for some
|
| spare change
|
| then I’d have enough spare change to take care of these bills I have to pay.
|
| I know that times are tough but that does not mean that you can have my stuff.
|
| So how 'bout a ride? |
| I can drive you to the shelter.
|
| We can eat dinner at the Andre house and you can even take a shower
|
| cus I think you deserve much more than a smoke and 50 cents.
|
| You deserve to be self sufficient and buy your own cigarettes.
|
| Oh, when the saints. |
| Oh, when the saints go marching in.
|
| They will feed you so much pizza that you’ll forget about the rut that you are
|
| in.
|
| Oh, when the saints. |
| Oh, when the saints, oh when the saints come marching in.
|
| Well I’m sure they’ll feel so much better with the illusion
|
| that they are helping out those sinners
|
| when all they really do is buy those so called sinners shitty dinners.
|
| Like 5 dollar Hot and Ready pizzas and high fructose corn syrup punch.
|
| You diabetic and apathetic, wondering when they will bring you lunch to the park
|
| they keep you in, when the saints go marching in.
|
| So I wish I had a cigarette for every time a perfect stranger asked me for a
|
| cigarette
|
| but I wonder what a cigarette will really do to help that person out.
|
| I wish to God I had some spare change for every time a perfect stranger asked
|
| me for some spare change
|
| but there’s not enough spare change in the world to make such an empty gesture
|
| count. |
