Styx - Street Collage Lyrics
Written by john ryan[spoken by various people on the street]Well, you see nowIm a depression babyAnd I remember the wpaIf 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 workLets face it, who wants to work?Theres no reason why anybody that five generations of people got to be on welfareI 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 terribleI said you might be educated, but did your parents tell you to go dirty?See the latest issueHard up, seeChicago sceneKids nowadays, thats the whole thingToo much money, theyve got too much moneyThey dont have to struggle and work for thingsLike when I was growing up had to doAnd I was lucky if I got that job delivering hats in a hat storeFor twenty-five cents per hatToo much money today is with the young kidsEverything was handed to em,And thats why they are the way they are
