2There's a black man, with a black cat, living in a black neighborhood 
            G5 
3He's got an interstate running through his front yard 
            F6           C7         G8 
4You know he thinks he's got it so good

6And there's a woman, in the kitchen, cleaning up the evening slop 
7And he looks at her and says, "Hey darlin 
8I can remember when you could stop a clock

17Well there's a young man, in a tee-shirt 
18listening to a rockin' rollin' station 
19He's got greasy hair, and a greasy smile he says 
20Lord this must be my destination 
21 
22Cause they told me, when I was younger 
23Boy you're gonna be President 
24But just like everything else those old crazy dreams 
25Just kinda came and went

29Well there's people 
30And more people; what do they know 
31Go to work in some high rise 
32And vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico 
33 
34And there's winners, and there's losers 
35But they ain't no big deal 
36Because the simple man baby pays for the thrills, the bills 
37The pills that kill
