Gratitude (live)

thank you
 for letting me stay here
 thank you for taking me in
 thank you
 for the beer and the food
 thank you
 for loaning me bus fare
 thank you for showing me around
 that was a very kind thing to do
 thank you
 for the use of the clean towel
 thank you for half of your bed
 we can sleep here like brother and sister,
 you said
 but you changed the rules
 in an hour or two
 and i don't know what you
 and your sisters do
 but please don't
 please stop
 this is not my obligation
 what does my body have to do
 with my gratitude?
 look at you
 little white lying
 for the purpose of justifying
 what you're trying to do
 i know that you feel my resistance
 i know that you heard what i said
 otherwise you wouldn't need the excuse
 thank you
 for letting me stay here
 thank you for taking me in
 i don't know where else
 i would have gone
 but i don't come and go
 like a pop song
 that you can play incessantly
 and then forget when it's gone
 you can't write me off
 and you don't turn me on
 so don't change the rules
 in an hour or two
 i don't know what you and your
 sisters do
 but please don't
 please stop
 this is not my obligation
 what does my body have to do
 with my gratitude?
