lyrics

Well I’m poor, I ain’t got shit
Been down for a while
No, I ain’t regretting it
I feel a pang, And It won’t go away
Won’t feel the same
After I get some country-style
It’s just around the corner
In a deserted alleyway
Behind Church’s Fried Chicken
Lies my Shangri-La
I won’t be bothered by my lack of currency
I’ll just hold my head high as I walk on by
(Chorus)
What’s the word? Have you heard?
What’s the word? It makes a turd.
What’s the word? Have you heard
We got the freedird

Now Johnny Todd, he works hard all day
Laying bricks for the man, that job sure do pay
So he brings change down, sees fifty people standing line
He just holds his head high and he walks on by
(Chorus)
Got a sale, going fast, fifty-piece, dive right in
Yesterday’s feast, hold your nose, or you might spew
Crispy gold, salmonella, old mold
Had some fun, good to see you, gotta run, diarrhea!
