Only A Roach |
In a car, going home, getting wasted |
Some cat stops and starts to make a crime |
He said: 'Son, I’m afraid I must bust you' |
'For getting spaced I just must waste your time' |
Only a roach |
Won’t keep us from crossing no ocean? |
So they hounded us down to the station |
And said just how sorry they were |
And they spoke of the good in just drinking |
And drinking’s all they’re good for |
I said. |
Only a roach |
Won’t keep us from crossing no ocean? |
And the judge, well he just would not listen |
But then listening ain’t what he’s paid for |
'Cause he’s paid for just gettin' his ass sore |
Forever and ever more |
Said: 'You pay through the nose' |
'For counsul and the clothes that you wore' |
Ah, keep playing |
Only a roach |
Won’t keep us from crossing no ocean? |
I said. |
Only a roach |
Won’t keep us from crossing no ocean? |
