The world is mine cuz I’m poor
Said the on the road alcoholic
Hitchhiking & dumpster diving
The joys of life
Someone said «What the hell are you doing going into the garbage?»
We said «Treasure hunting!»
I see all these people going into the same store
Where we get the garbage
& they don’t look any happier than me
& all these cars killing me
Passing me by while I’m trying to hitch hike
But they’re going to work
All these people working so hard and ending up with nothing
I’ve got nothing but at least I didn’t work hard for it
But this is not a folksong, this is not a folksong no
You know yr headed for shit but what can you do?
Future worry never worked for me
I’ve lost that desperate feeling
