She lit her third to last smoke, kept checking the pack
my batteries dying, didn't wanna go back
she looked at her fingernails and started talking
"My father never loved me when we lived in Biloxi
I learned to play the blues to rid my body of toxins
still the needle was the only dick I trusted...
I went looking for him in the no-go zones
with the self-storage unit, E-Z payday loans,
'If you've been injured in an automobile accident'
and I went back to school on a grant from the state
they pulled that rug out and my monthly was late
hallelujah amen for a bandaid over a broken bone;
then we got on the stamps, every month hit the limit
& got a new fix at the methadone clinic
hallelujah amen for a bandaid over a broken bone;
what the fuck do they want, what the fuck do they want,
all that bootstrapper bullshit's just sand up my cunt
when they won't even start to see their own advantage..."
