overheard drunks

sitting in bars

talking 'bout sex

talking 'bout cars

talking 'bout football

women at lunch

they just keep talking

but don't say much



i'm a product of my environment

my vocabularies like licking the gutter

words that cut so sharp

cuts like a hot knife through butter



not my fault

but then again

schools and teachers were never my friends

nothing's wrong with a little education

but i don't need a new vocation



i'm a product of my environment

things that occur

events take place

that will wipe

the smile right off your face



freeways,trafic,smog,

movies,theatres,

lines of people,

markets and banks

who the hell i'm i supposed to thank??

i'm a product of my environment
