X - The Have Nots

drink at the bar nothing bar anything
but the bottom step of the ladder it keeps
getting higher and higher dawn comes soon enough
for the working class it keeps getting sooner
or later this is the game that moves as you play
how does it feel to have your own bottle
of booze behind the bar, how does it feel
to play cards with the barmaids while they work
at jocko's rocketship or the one eye jack my sin
and the lucky star a steady place to study
and drink day old days ancient bloody mary bastards
in a hardcore blue collar bar here we sit,
a shot and a beer after another hard earned day
dawn comes soon enough for the working class
it keeps getting sooner or later this is the game
that moves as you play at the hi-d-hi
and the hula gal bee-hive bar and the zircon lounge
g.g.'s cozy corner the gift of love stop'n'drink,
sit'n'sip, rest'n'pieces dexter's new approach
and the get down lounge the aorta bar, detroit's main vein
