The Taxpayers - The Business Man Lyrics
God, it never got easy, but it sure got good when thebusiness man came to my adopted neighborhood. There was abird I named Frank, a chapel, a steeple, and a pile ofblankets outside of Trinity Cathedral. Every weekday morninghe would walk right by with a three piece suit, new shoes,and a tie. And this dead face, real hate in his eyes. Insuch a devilish way he would materialize. He was put thereto rob from men like me – from the broken down scoundrelsthat live on the street. So I prepared for his initialattack; I said to myself, “Henry, you gotta watch your ownback. You wanna make it outta here alive, you better learnto improvise.” So there we were: one morning at dawn, heappeared at the church with the cold autumn fog, briefcase inhand, walking towards me. So I jumped from my blankets andsunk my teeth right into his ear and ripped it right off.Blood poured down onto his luxury watch. He ran away and Iwent back to sleep, and when the cops arrived, man, I was relieved.I said, “Thank god ya'll are here. This bastard in abusiness suit just tried to rob me. And you know what? Ithink he might have been the devil.”
