I have squandered my resistance

3595
I have squandered my resistance
-“BB”-
3596
For a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises
[This is exactly the song I was considering next.]
3597
All lies and jest
3598
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
(Great minds think alike.)
3599
And disregards the rest.
3600
When I left my home and my family
3601
I was no more than a boy
-“BB”-
3602
In the company of strangers
3603
In the quiet of the railway station, runnin’ scared
3604
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
3605
Where the ragged people go
3606
Looking for the places
3607
Only they would know.
3608
Lie la lie, lie la la la lie lie
3609
Asking only workman’s wages,
3610
I come looking for a job
3611
But I get no offers
3612
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
3613
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
3614
I took some comfort there…
