I've got nothing in my head

Got a floor for a bed

The future's at the bottom of a tea cup

I got a half a pair of shoes

And no time to lose

I'm wondering when I'm going to wise up

So, fortune shine your light on me and my clothes

Cause we need some security

You get a little bad luck

And it grows and it grows

I'm the black sheep of the family

I've got half a pound of rice

A beard full of lice

A mission called retrogression

I've got pocket full of dust

And eating is a must

You want to make a good impression

So, fortune shine your light on me and my dog

Cause we need some security

While all the folks are living high up the hill

I'm the black sheep of the family

Don't talk to me about society

You got to pay the rules

Or pay the penalty

Because there's nothing to choose

Between a handful of blues

Double indemnity

The hour was wrong

And my shadow's getting long

My real life's a song, don't need much

But I've got an ache in my head

I wanna go to bed

Tomorrow I don't have to wake up, no

So wisdom shine your light on me and my knees

Cause it's true what they say about familiarity

There's nothing good this way

And it's true they say

I'm the black sheep of the family

Oh, my wisdom shine your light on me and my knees

It's true what they say about familiarity

There's nothing good this way

And it's true they say

I'm the black sheep of the family

Yeah, yeah

I'm the black sheep of the family

Just me and my dog, yeah, yeah

I'm the black sheep of the family

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm the black sheep of the family

You've got me on my knees

I'm the black sheep of the family

Yeah, yeah, yeah
