There gon' be smoke in the city They might say, oh what a pity They might want dope There might be a whole bunch of people like you Where you been? How's your mom? Is your dad still sick Let me grab my Let me just say what I want to say If I can't, I won't act right We could throw grapes at our enemies We could just paint the amenities that have been stained We could replace your Nintendo but the things we enjoy Well, they're never the same And if we're all dogs, then I'ma just piss where you whistle With the grit in my gristle As I pick at my ticks and I dig in the ditch You admit to have lived in a little Many nights sting to the core Many nice things for us all, but they're not for me Singing that gospel, bringing that bop for the freaks to see And it makes me think There gon' be smoke in the city They might say, oh what a pity They might want dope There might be a whole bunch of people like me I don't even like nice things. I'd rather drink wine by the tracks with the ratchets and goons Songs of our fathers get sung by their daughters Obnoxiously, nauseously, laughing and cackling at moons Glass in my shoes, I'm happy to do it, and that's the only way Please don't call me daddy, me and that man ain't the same I've been short a Newport since I was fourteen Sleeping up on that porch With an angry dog underneath my skin With a raging bull laying at my feet If we just hold on, then we just might win I can look at my enemies again I can look at my enemies again It lets me know There gon' be smoke in the city They might say, oh what a pity They might want dope There might be a whole bunch of people like me You've got gold in your face Tell us a story of gold on your chain Tell us a story of gold in your face Tell us a story of gold on your chain Tell us a story of Gold in my soul Coming out in the sound of the nouns and verbs Sitting with a puzzle in the TV guide and I doubt that our moms ever found those words Doubt that my dad ever read much books and I think sometimes that it makes me sad Should've stayed home from the rock fight, right Well your hindsight's great but mine ain't too bad Maybe one day, that stray dog will bring it all back again Dead language on your tongue, words from way back when Holding on to the devils in your dreams I awoke to the smell of gasoline There gon' be smoke in the city They might say, oh what a pity They might want dope There might be a whole bunch of people like us
