People Like Us
the kitchen is on fire
there’s money in the sink
she said he left now all she wears is pink
the boys go off like bottle rockets in the street
and there goes Mary Go-round
she’s faught or slept with every guy in town
the waitress from Chicago’s got a secret tattoo
Angel spills out with a laugh
while the queen sharpens her tooth and says

well this is where they put the people like us
the drinks are hard they say we play too much
the nights don’t end
the mornings feel like youve been hit by a bus
but it’s never enough for the people like us

Kitty never has any money
but she always finds a drink
the General is belligerent and drunk off his head
yelling orders at some lieutenant thats long since been dead
and Chef Rock shotguns a beer
while the trash band beats through “96 Tears”
some girl’s passed out in the bathroom again
the boss is across the street with a Fernet in her hand, she says

well this is where they put the people like us
the drinks are hard they say we play too much
the nights don’t end
the mornings feel like youve been hit by a bus
but it’s never enough for the people like us

she said “I’ll love you forever” until somebody gets hurt
somebody got hurt
somebody got hurt
you know it’s nobody’s fault and there isn’t a cure
somebody got hurt
somebody got hurt
somebody got hurt

words get thrown around like apple razor claims
and everybody’s guilty but nobody’ss to blame
gimme that rag food, man I’m hungry as hell
the neon spins around like the devil’s carousel
and it’s last call, on your mark, get set, go!
everyone’s a philosopher when thier drunk you know
the boom-box-bum blasts his songs next door
while the broken glass and dreams get swept up off the floor
we sing

well this is where they put the people like us
the drinks are hard they say we play too much
the nights don’t end
the mornings feel like you’ve been hit by a bus
but it’s never enough for the people like us
