Title: Black Sheep Of The Family

Lyrics Black Sheep Of The Family

I've got nothing in my head
Got a floor for a bed
My future's at the bottom of a tea cup
I got a half a pair of shoes
And no time to lose
I'm wondering when I'm going to wise up

So, fortune shine your light on me and my clothes
Cause we need some security
You get a little bad luck and it blows and it grows
I'm the black sheep of the family

I've got half a pound of rice
A beard full of lice
A mission called retrogression
I've got pocket full of dust
And eating is a must
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 up the hill
I'm the black sheep of the family

BRIDGE:
Don't talk to me about society
You got to play the rules
Or pay the penalty
'Cause there's nothing left to choose
Between a handful of blues
Double indemnity

The hour was wrong
And my shadow's getting long
My real life's a song- don't need much
I've got an ache in my head
I wanna go to bed
Tomorrow I don't have to wake up, no

So wisdom shine your light on me and my knees
Cause it's true what they say about familiarity
There's nothing good this way and it's true they say
I'm the black sheep of the family

Oh, my wisdom shine your light on me and my knees
It's true what they say about familiarity
There's nothing good this way and it's true they say
I'm the black sheep of the family
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm the black sheep of the family (repeat)
