Bag lady's complainin

To the cop on the beat

She says she's got nowhere to go

She got nothin' to eat

Cop says, "Lady, have you

considered a life of crime? You know you can eat real good when you're 

doin' time"



And she has got no galleria

She's got no mall

All she's got is the street to lean on

And the gutter when she falls



Do you see them gang bangers?

They gonna have a fight

They gonna knock somebody's teeth out

Maybe put out somebody's lights



We're gonna have to bust them

Put 'em all away in jail

You know, it's the nineteenth time this month

Ain't gonna be no bail



And they got no galleria

They got no mall

All they got is the street to lean on

And the gutter when they fall



Fat lady with the wig on

She's down here buyin' antiques

She says, "Can't you control these kids?

They're actin' like a bunch of freaks."

And the kids are givin' her the finger

They re talkin 'bout takin' her purse



The street keeps gettin' hotter

The traffic keeps gettin' worse



And they got no galleria

They got no mall

All they got is the street to lean on

And the gutter when they fall



Do you see that politician?

Don't he look sincere

You know he will promise you anything

As long as he's down here

He's gonna go home to the valley

To his house and lawn

And we will still be here

When he is gone



And we got no galleria

We got no mall

All we got is the street to lean on

And the gutter when we fall



All we got is the street to lean on

And the gutter.
