In the mornin you go gunnin' for the man who stole your water and you fire till he is done in but they catch you at the border and the mourners are all singin' as they drag you by your feet but the hangman isn't hangin' and they put you on the street You go back Jack do it again wheel turnin' round and round you go back Jack do it again When you know she's no high climber then you find your only friend in a room with your two timer and you're sure you're near the end then you love a little wild one and she brings you only sorrow all the time you know she's smilin' you'll be on your knees tomorrow you go back jack do it again wheel turnin round and round you go back jack do it again Now you swear and kick and beg us that you're not a gamblin man then you find you're back in Vegas with a handle in your hand your black cards can make you money so you hide them while you're able in the land of milk and honey you must put them on the table you go back jack do it again wheel turnin round and round you go back jack do it again Steely Dan "Do It Again" (1972)

Good SD lyrics for a losing week... THIRD WORLD MAN Johnny's playroom Is a bunker filled with sand He's become a third world man Smoky Sunday He's been mobilized since dawn Now he's crouching on the lawn He's a third world man
When youuuu come around......, No more pain and no regrets. Watch the sun go down......., Smoking coke on cigarettes. There's no need to hide...., Living life the easy way. If I stay inside....., I might live till Saturday.
He don't hang around with the gang no more He don't do the wild things that he did before He used to act bad Used to but he quit it It makes me so sad âCause I know that he did it for me I can see His heart His heart is out in the street He don't comb his hair like he did before He don't wear those dirty old black boots no more But he's not the same There's something 'bout his kisses that tells me he's changed I know there's something missing inside Something died His heart His heart is out in the streets He grew up on the sidewalk streetlights shining above He grew up with no one to love He grew up on the sidewalk He grew up running free He grew up and then he met me He don't hang around with the gang no more Gee he doesn't smile like he did before I wish I didn't care I wish I'd never met him They're waiting out there So I got to set him free He's gotta be Out in the street His heart His heart is out in the street He don't hang around with the gang no more {He's out in the street} He don't hang around with the gang no more He don't hang around with the gang no more {He's out in the street} He don't hang around with the gang no more ---- Blondie
