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
dawn comes soon enough for the working class
it keeps getting sooner or later
this is the game that moves as you play

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
