I was a friend of an uncle sam
Then he turned around and gave me hell
And I was a lonely ampersand
Caught between hospice and jail
Give in, give in, give it away
To a loser a crossbreed even a stray
Lepers try to earn your pay
While the hippies tie dye wallets
I had a house by a lake and a swamp
It was fun but now its gone
I had a hole inside a tree
And a fake society
Cryin, dyin not to buy in
My gamblin friends are sick from tryin
Poker stokes your inhibitions
Me I might have some ambitions
Given in givin out
What is your kid on about
