Mean to me
Why must you be mean to me?
Can’t you see
I’m nothing without you
Oh, I asked her for water, oh she brought me gasoline
Oh, I asked her for water, oh she brought me gasoline
That’s the troublingest woman, that I ever seen
Can’t you see, whoa, can’t you see
What that woman, Lord, she been doin’ to me
Can’t you see, can’t you see
What that woman, she been doin’ to me
I told you I was trouble
You know that I’m no good
Feelin’ better now that we’re through
Feelin’ better, 'cause I’m over you
I learned my lesson, it left a scar
Now I see how you really are
You’re no good
You’re no good
You’re no good
Baby, you’re no good
People ain’t no good
Oh no, no, people ain’t no good
Oh, they never do what I think they should
No, people ain’t no good, sing it children
All the older children
Come out at night
Anemic, soulless
Great hunger in their eyes
Unaware of the beauty
That sleeps tonight
Well the days went by all dull and gray
And he didn’t think much and had little to say
And when the full moon rose, he’d climb over the moat
Find some people sleeping, and he’d bite their throats!
Mediocre Fred
Mediocre, dull Fred
Everybody’s misused him
Ripped him up and abused him
Another junkie plan
Pushin’ dope for the man
A terrible blow but that’s how it goes
A Freddy’s on the corner now
If you wanna be a junkie, wow
Remember Freddy’s dead
I’ve seen the needle and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie’s like a settin’ sun
Don’t go chasing waterfalls
Well, there’s nothin’ that you ain’t tried
To fill the emptiness inside
But when you come back down, girl
Still ain’t feelin’ right
I see a hollow man, gun in hand, gun in hand, it points my way
You know, he follows me everywhere and every day, I gotta get away
I won’t miss him if he goes away and stays away, yeah, yeah
The bogus man is on his way
As fast as he can run
He’s tired but he’ll get to you
And shoot you with his gun
I’m so tired
I haven’t slept a wink
I’m so tired
My mind is on the blink
I’m tired
Sick and tired of love
I’ve had my fill of love
From below and above
Tired, tired of being admired
Tired of love uninspired
Let’s face it, I’m tired!
I’m too tired not to be with you
I’m too sad I feel too bad and I can’t deal with anyone new
So you’re hired I’ll bet you like it too
It’s either that or do myself harm
Stub a cigarette out on my arm
I guess sex will have to do
'Cause I’m too tired not to be with you
I am so tired
(So tired)
And I just can’t wait around for you
I am so tired
(So tired)
And I always thought we’d see it through
Yea
It’s your life
And you can do what you want
Do what you like
But please don’t keep-a me waiting
Please don’t keep-a me waiting
Do right, use your head.
Everybody must be fed.
Get together, break your bread.
Yes, together, that’s what I said.
Do what you like.
