Homeless Jazz

you are the product of a prodigal son

every other person wants to take on my son

acquit every little birdy on jailbird street

they’ll walk the walk with both damn feet

they know..laugh with me

can you walk like me?

can we both burn?

in a world so full of it

it’s only a waste of my time

but we love them anyway

yes we love them

I am the father of the prodigal son

never had I thought I would compete for my son

but he met another birdy on jailbird street

said she could walk with both left feet, she said

‘you are the body? well, oh. I rock the body well.’

‘let’s have it out and we’ll shake this old cell’

‘you rock the body? well go on and rock the body well’

‘let’s have it out and shake this whole town’

now kill the army

and I’ll send them all to hell

because they know what I did

I swear, I swear I will

let me kiss my momma

because I’m going straight to hell

daddy knows what I did

I swear, I swear I will

…do it again.

if we both burn. both of us can learn to…
