Black Sheep Of The Family

Lyrics

I've got nothing in my head, got a floor for a bed
 My future's at the bottom of a teacup
 I've got a half a pair of shoes, and no time to lose
 I'm wondering when I'm going to wise up
 So fortune shine your light on me and my nose
 'Cause we need some security
 You get a little bad luck and it grows and it grows
 I'm the black sheep of the family
 ♪
 I've got half a pound of rice, a beard full of lice
 A mission called retrogression
 I've got a pocket full of dust, and eating is a must
 If you want to make a good impression
 So fortune shine your light on me and my dog
 'Cause we need some security
 While other folks are living high on the hog
 I'm the black sheep of the family
 Don't talk to me about society
 You got to play by the rules or pay the penalty
 Because there's nothing to choose between a handful of blues
 Double indemnity
 ♪
 All the words are wrong, and my shadow's getting long
 I realise this song don't mean much
 I got an ache in my head, and want to go to bed
 Tomorrow I don't have to wake up, no
 So wisdom shine your light on me and my knees
 'Cause it's true what they say about familiarity
 There's nothing good this way, it's true what they say
 I'm the black sheep of the family
 Oh my, wisdom shine your light on me and my knees
 It's true what they say about familiarity
 There's nothing good this way, it's true what they say
 I'm the black sheep of the family
 I'm the black sheep of the family
 Just me and my dog, yeah
 I'm the black sheep of the family
 Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah, yeah
 I'm the black sheep of the family
 You got me on my knees
 I'm the black sheep of the family
 Yeah, yeah, yeah
