Money and Run
from 10/13/'02

there's a lady in a shifted wig
one hand on the register
the other on a slotted pig

there's a man wearing a leather coat
his eye is on the turkey
his weapon's on her greedy throat

there's a cop reading a magazine
his foot is toward the doorway
to abandon his post and this scene

he thinks,"there's no need for me in this mess"
says,"good day to you both,good luck and God bless."

they're each just as guilty
no matter what the paper will say
they're each just as guilty
and for that deserve hell to pay
as do I.

you can't rob a miser
to afford the cost of grace
you can't make a budget
to dig yourself from this grave
you can't take your railroad
to be less than a slave
you can't pull a fast one
He's the only one who saves
