I can hound you if I need to

Sip your brandy from a crystal shoe

In the corner, in the corner While the others climb, reaching dizzy heights

The world's in front of me in black and white

I'm on the bottom line, I'm on the bottom line I'd have a cardiac if I had such luck

Lucky losers, lucky losers

Landing on skid row, landing on skid row While the Diamond Jims and the Kings road pimps

Breath heavy in their brand new clothes

I'm on the bottom line, I'm on the bottom line And I gotta get a meal ticket

To survive you need a meal ticket

To stay alive you need a meal ticket Feel no pain, no regret

When the line's been signed, you're someone else

Do yourself a favor, the meal ticket does the rest Shake a hand if you have to

Trust in us and we will love you

Anyway, anyway Don't leave us stranded in the jungle

With fifty percent that's hard to handle

Ain't that so, ain't that so And I gotta get a meal ticket

To survive you need a meal ticket

To stay alive you need a meal ticket Feel no pain, no regret

When the line's been signed, you're someone else

Do yourself a favor, the meal ticket does the rest

Meal ticket Gotta get a meal ticket and I gotta get a meal ticket

To survive you need a meal ticket

To stay alive you need a meal ticket Feel no pain, no regret

When the line's been signed, you're someone else

Do yourself a favor, the meal ticket does the rest Meal ticket, meal ticket

Meal ticket, meal ticket

Meal ticket
