No Good Al Joad

Put that chicken in your yard

Out of it's misery

It's feathers torn apart, no

Rooster can be more

Ruthless than you more

Stupid than me

I found your

Angel in the crow's nest

It's a god awful mess up here

She's clawed through the floor

Nobody seems to stick around

How much more can you take

Old men fire from their windows

Warning shots over your head

And your dearest friends

Are comin around with their

Tales between their legs

But your engine is

Still running, although

The gears are covered with grime

Everybody is a little hard to love

Sometimes

You are my favorite because

You're a long shot

You are my enemy

Because you forgot!

Generous people, they fill me with doubt

But that's something i'd rather not

Talk about

And no heavy change can make

Me stay, i'm a

No good Al Joad anyway

I'll never lie in the back

Of no truck

So if you want a whole lot, but

Without getting caught

Babe you better go

Get in line

Everybody is a little hard

To love sometimes

The first person i realized was dying

Thanked everyone for the cake

Soft, and low - now

I can tell the ground

Barely feels my footsteps, as I

Must go.
