well, you think you know about me
people talk trash as they will
I live inside a wine jar
where I deface dollar bills
you prob'ly heard about me
with my lantern at high-noon
I was searching for an honest man
I guess I come too soon
there's some folks seem to think
I got some wisdom I can teach
but most these fools see me as
a mad dog off the leash
but I don't growl much
and I hardly ever bite
and I can read your thoughts
when the wind is right
and if I don't like what someone's
got to say
I just start barking 'till they
go away....
...I guess that makes me cynical....
...I'm just cynical....
well, I don't race with the rats
I don't worship the machine
I don't carry a spade or sword
I keep these hands clean
if you wanna chat about it we can
grab a beer somewhere
I usually got a couple bucks
after busking in the square
see I'm not antisocial and
I'm not opposed to fun, and
I ain't tryin' to be rude but could'ja
please step out my sun
I don't care much for money
I don't fancy trendy clothes
I don't want what I don't need and
I don't need one of those
I eat when I'm hungry and
I drink when I'm dry
if you think there's a better after-life
just go on ahead and die...
...I guess that does sound cynical....
I'm just cynical....
everything I own I carry
in this leather pouch
and I only need to crash
a couple-three nights on your couch
see I live free of all hope and fear
like the pigeons out on your stoop
you'll understand me better
once you try my lentil soup
no, I don't want any hang-ups
I want the tyrants out my head
when someone tried to steal my guitar
I gave it them instead
I still vote for Kucinich
every couple years or so
I wrote his name inside a heart
in a phone booth just an hour ago
it's not like I don't understand
real change starts from within
I want your revolution too
just wake me when it begins...
