Hole In The Bucket
Money

Nothin
But Money

I work 9 to 5
but it starts
in the P.M.
and I love the
sunrise so I step
out in the A.M.
the street is
black and shiny
from the early
nightly rainin'
the glory of the
light it brings
evaporation
morning's fresh
oxygen cleanest
I take a deep hit
help my mind stay
the greenest
I'm already wake
so I'm not
drinkin' coffee
don't wanna
cigarette, 'cause
it's a form of
slavery
walk into the
store 'cause I
need a few items
the sun heats the
blood like a hit
of vitamins
needa buy some
food and some
'poo for my
dreads
can't remember
why but I need a
spool of thread
Man with dirty
dreads, steps
around the comer
he asks me for a
dime, a nickel or
a quarter
I don't have any
change so I'm
steppin' along
and as I'm walkin'
past he sings to
me a song...

(chorus)

There's a whole in
the bucket
dear liza, dear
liza...

(repeat)

The day is pickin'
up cause I'm
hummin' his song
the buses and the
people all keep
movin' along
to the shopkeeper
I say "was'sup?"
and I'm thinkin'
about the
man who's
holdin' up
the cup
I pay for all
the stuff and
get a pocketful
of change
should I give it
to the man's the
question in my
brain
What's gonna
happen if I give
the man a dime?
I don't wanna pay
for anotha
brotha's wine
What's gonna happen
if I give the man
a quarter?
will he find a
dealer and try to
place an order?
what's gonna happen
if I give the
man a nickel
will he buy some
food or some pork
that's been
pickled?
I'm not
responsible for
the man's
depression
how can I find
compassion in
the midst of
recession?
How come all
these questions
keep fuckin' with
my head
and I still can't
rememba why I
need a spool of
thread.

(chorus)

He's starin' in my
eyes just as
I'm walkin' past
I'm tryin to avoid
him cause I know
he's gonna
ask me about the
coinage that is
in my pocket
But I don't know
if I should put
it in his bucket
walk right past
him to think about
it more back at the
crib I'm openin' up
the door
a pocketful of
change
it don't mean
alot to me
my cup is half
full but his
is empty
I put back on my
cap and I start
headin' back
I reach into my
pocket and I have
a heart attack
well as I'm
diggin' deep I
scream "oh no!"
there's nothin'
in the pocket but
a great big hole
While I was busy
thinkin' if he
would buy smack
the jingle in my
pocket it slipped
through the
cracks
no one has the
change and it's
fuckin' up my
head
But now I know
the reason why
I had to buy the
thread!

(chorus)
