Palm Tree (In West Oakland) |
Liquor store liqour store |
One on every corner |
Checks cashed any kind |
No I. D |
Liquor store liquor store |
One on every corner |
Malt liquor cigarettes |
Lottery |
The car is running |
And kicking out fumes |
You’ve disappeared inside |
To buy the daily quota |
I’m fending for myself |
To a popular tune |
Digging in the ashtray |
Hoping for a quarter |
Mile on mile of transient hotels |
Unattended children with nowhere to play |
Anger rips down Pine Street |
In the form of a black Chevelle |
But the Baptists keep singin' away |
One lone Palm tree is rising up above |
Its glamour & dignity are so out of place |
An ancient pick-up truck is looking for a shove |
The congregation sings «Amazing Grace» |
