[00:04.50]You're sitting on a milk mornin' noon and night
[00:06.60]Fantisizin' the American dream
[00:08.94]You're lookin' pretty good and you've got yourself convinced
[00:11.01]That the nightmare isn't as bad as it seems
[00:13.17]You try your best to hide yourself beneath your turned up collar
[00:15.39]And a plastic bag is all you've got to show
[00:17.46]And your books inside your shopping cart
[00:18.84]Is probably the best education you're ever gonna know (Hmm)
[00:21.96]The guy in the Mercedes is just hollered with the dollar
[00:24.09]Better grab it 'cause the signal's turnin' green
[00:26.40]And while you're at it put the jug behind the picket fence
[00:28.44]'Cause the cop that's drivin' by sho'looking mean
[00:30.75]Institution, contribution, restitution, destitution
[00:33.09]Doesn't mean a thing to you now
[00:34.89]You're the freeway feature
[00:36.06]For your audience are driving by
[00:37.35]So maybe you should stand and take a bow
[00:40.38]You're living in desperation
[00:44.70]And you never have felt complete
[00:49.17]You live in anticipation
[00:53.52]Of another day on the street, sing with me
[00:57.06](Scatting by Scatman John)
[01:14.25]You're sitting in the same spot
[01:15.60]You want to go home
[01:16.29]But there ain't no home but home on the range
[01:18.60]You've forgotten what you look like and it looks like you've forgotten
[01:20.82]That the look inside your eye is very strange
[01:22.98]Ain't nothing left to hide
[01:24.09]You're stripped of all your pride and all you feel inside
[01:26.25]Is a hole a mile wide
[01:27.39]You're the freedom desperado
[01:28.53]And the perfect living model
[01:29.58]Of a land that hasn't any good excuse
[01:32.76]You're living in desperation
[01:37.08]And you never have felt complete
[01:41.52]You live in anticipation
[01:45.87]Of another day on the street, sing with me
[01:49.38](Scatting by Scatman John)
[02:06.72]Sittin' on your milkcrate, blanket wrapped around you
[02:09.00]I see you sitting day after day
[02:11.13]I really like to talk but I know if I approached you
[02:13.29]You'd probably get up and walk away
[02:15.39]You're wishin' that your home of the American dream
[02:17.64]Wasn't only smoke and exhaust
[02:19.80]I love you desperado and all I gotta say
[02:21.78]You let me know how much I really lost
[02:25.14]You're living in desperation
[02:29.43]And you never have felt complete
[02:33.90]You live in anticipation
[02:38.25]Of another day on the street, sing with me
