Ive got nothing in my head, got a floor for a bed.
My futures at the bottom of a teacup
Ive got half a pair of shoes and no time to lose.
Im wondering when Im gonna wise up
So, fortune, shine your light on me and my nose,
Cause I need some security.
You get a little bad luck and it grows and it grows.
Im the black sheep of the family.
Ive got half a pound of rice, a beard full of lice,
Political retrogression.
Ive got a pocket full of dust, and eating is a must
If you want to make a good impression.
So, fortune shine your light on me and my dog,
Cause we need some security.
While other folks are living high on the hog.
Im the black sheep of the family.
Dont talk to me about society.
You got to play by the rules or pay the penalty.
Because theres nothing to choose between a handful of blues.
Double indemnity.
The whole worlds wrong and my shadows getting long.
I realize this song dont mean much.
I got an ache in my head. I want to go to bed.
Tomorrow I dont have to wake up.
So, wisdom shine your light on me and my knees.
Its true what they say about familiarity.
Theres nothing good this way, its true what they say!
Im the black sheep of the family
