Street Man Named Desire

The assembly plant moved to Mexico, the domestic sales started getting slow

but the bills kept pooring in, me and beck took it on the chin

And the day the landlord threw us out, Becky she threw in the towel

She had enough at last

of these modern grapes of wrath

Chorus:

Saddam Huessien still has a job but I don't

Tonight he'll sleep in a big warm bed but I won't

You'll see me standing in front of a bus stop both

with a sign that reads will work for food

and later I'll take my place around the trash barrel fire

wheres the pot of gold for a street man named desire

It seems like a million years ago, I faced each day full of hopehonest labor with my hands, making a livin, making plans

Well I never was much at drinking before but these days its all that keeps me warm Its still hard to belive

This could ever happen to me

Chorus:

The President still has a job but I don't

Tonight he'll sleep in a big warm bed but I won't

You'll see me standing in front of a bus stop both

with a sign that reads will work for food

and later I'll take my place around the trash barrel fire

wheres the pot of gold for a street man named desire

wheres the pot of gold for a street man named desire
