Mr. Bum

I lost my job, came home mad
Got reprocessed and that's too bad
Court said you can stay downtown till you find another job
I thought I liked the sound of that
See the city, and take long naps
Go from a hard-working man
To being Mr. Bum

Well
Liquor holds in a paper bag dryer
Look for food behind the diner
Ask for money for the 18th time
Breakfast sick, naps all the time
There's something living in my hair
Swat mosquitoes getting public stares
Called crazy all day long
And it's only Monday
Mr. Bum

Dumpster diving spent all day
Bugged by scouts in the subway
And there's wall that I pissed on the left
And was called plain wrong
How much water can one box leak
Thank god they threw out a cake
It's more than any hobo can take
Being Mr. Bum

Well
Keep my clothes in the Laundromat's dryer
Getting warm by another barrel on fire
Ask for money for the 19th time
Breakfast sick, the fear factor kind
I got something living in my hair
Another hobo getting public stares
Called crazy all day long
And it's only Monday
Mr. Bum

Before I fall to sleep tonight
If the rats didn't eat the classifieds
I'll gonna use em just one more time

Cause

Having a smoke in a cleared out dumpster
Oh what luck found an old Budweiser
Ask for money for the 28th time
Homeless chicks, dates at nine
There's that thing living in my hair
Swat mosquitoes getting public stares
Been lazy all day long
Oh
Been lazy all day long
And it's only Monday
Mr. Bum

Oh
Mr. Bum
Balancing check books, paying my bills
I thought it was too hard to do it
Baby, I don't know how you feel
Because I just know that I said... "Screw It!"

Oh
Honey, I'm a Zero
