Desperation |
| She ran out of luck and started sweatin' bullets |
| She tried to get a job but she couldn’t do it |
| Now she’s livin' in a suitcase out on the street |
| He said I love your family they sure are funny |
| You know I hate to ask but can you loan me some money |
| Tryin' to get a grip, tryin' to get back on my feet |
| She’s sleepin' in the kitchen on the hardwood floor |
| Said it fixed her back, it don’t hurt no more |
| She’s lookin' real good, but she’s still havin' trouble with her knees |
| They lookin' for some kinda satisfaction |
| Workin' off some kinda chain reaction |
| Tryin' to get a handle on whatever it is they need |
| Victims… of the situation |
| Can’t rise above their own desperation |
| They keep on pushin' |
| But they can’t get it up to speed |
| He’s standin' in the mirror combin' his hair |
| Gettin' all dressed up but he ain’t goin' nowhere |
| You could cut him with a knife |
| And I betcha he wouldn’t even bleed |
| He said hey doc take a look at this |
| It don’t work and I’m scared to death |
| He said I got somethin' for you but you only get the first one free |
| Never seen a woman that crazy 'bout a man |
| Like a devil and an angel hand and hand |
| She knows what he is, but that ain’t the life he leads |
| They lookin' for some kinda satisfaction |
| Workin' off some kinda chain reaction |
| Tryin' to get a handle on whatever it is they need |
| Victims… of the situation |
| Can’t rise above their own desperation |
| They keep on pushin' |
| But they can’t get it up to speed |
