Street Collage — текст песни (styx)

Written by john ryan

[spoken by various people on the street]



Well, you see now

Im a depression baby

And I remember the wpa

If we could just start the same thing again and get people working out there, why not?

Is it too menial for somebody to sweep the street?



And if youve got enough money where you dont have to work

Lets face it, who wants to work?

Theres no reason why anybody that five generations of people got to be on welfare



I had one gentlemen get in ---

No offense to you gentlemen, he had long hair and a beard --

And I told him, he had better go home and take a bath;

He had b.o. so bad, it was terrible

I said "you might be educated, but did your parents tell you to go dirty? "



See the latest issue

Hard up, see

Chicago scene



Kids nowadays, thats the whole thing

Too much money, theyve got too much money

They dont have to struggle and work for things

Like when I was growing up had to do

And I was lucky if I got that job delivering hats in a hat store

For twenty-five cents per hat

Too much money today is with the young kids

Everything was handed to em,

And thats why they are the way they are
