You're telling me a good man is hard to find well what are you blind?

Well never mind let's try and have a good time

There was a war of independence if a man's a hindrance well you know where you've got a right to go

Better take a breather till you're better till you're breathin till you stop sweatin

Better take a breather till you stop sweatin and knit me a sweater

You're tellin me a good man is hard to find, What was that? you better rewind

Cos there's me mama, i'm showin everybody a good time

You're always lookin for a few good men well here's one

Baby, won't get wasted on a gun

Call me old dog when i'm gone but when i'm back it's always

Oh man where ya been so long, where ya been so long

And then since then it's just been alright, a-okay

Ain't always oh man where ya been so long where ya been so long

In a world that gets me high i'm tied up in all the time

It's always oh man where's ya mind at, where's ya mind at?

Until i, i come undone, i'm deaf and dumb, i'm rollin drums, i'm dead alive
