Hole In The Bucket

Money Money
Money Money
Nothing but money
I work 9 to 5 but it starts in the
P.M.And I love the sunrise so
I step out in the
A.M.The street is black and shiny from the nightly rainin'
The glory of the light it brings evaporation
Morning's fresh oxygen cleanest
I take a deep hit help my mind stay the greenest
I'm already wake so
I'm not drinkin' coffee
Don't wanna cigarette, 'cause it's a form of slavery
I walk into the store 'cause
I need a few items
The sun heats the blood like a hit of vitamins
As I need to buy some food and some poo for my dreads
I can't remember why but
I need a spool of thread
Well a man with dirty dreads, he steps around the comer
He asks me for a dime, a nickel or a quarter
I don't have any change so
I'm steppin' along
But as I'm walkin' past he sings to me a song
There's a hole in the bucket dear
LizaThere's a hole in the bucket dear
Liza, dear
LizaThere's a hole in the bucket dear
Liza, dear
Liza, Liza
There's a hole in the bucket dear
Liza, dear
LizaThe day is pickin' up cause
I'm hummin' his song
The buses and the people all keep movin' along
To the shopkeeper
I say, 'what's up?'
And I'm thinkin' about the man who's holdin' up the cup
I pay for all the stuff and get a pocketful of change
Well should
I give it to the man's the question in my brain
What's gonna happen if
I give the man a dime?
I don't wanna pay for another brothers wine
What's gonna happen if
I give the man a quarter?
Will hefind a dealer and try to place an order?
What's gonna happen if
I give the man a nickel
Will he buy some food or some pork that's been pickled?
I'm not responsible for the man's depression
How can I find compassion in the midst of recession?
How come all these questions keep ****in' with my head
And I still can't remember why
I need a spool of thread'
Cause there's a hole in the bucket dear
LizaThere's a hole in the bucket dear
Liza, dear
LizaThere's a hole in the bucket dear
LizaThere's a hole in the bucket dear
Liza, dear
LizaHe's starin' in my eyes just as
I'm walkin' past
I'm tryin to avoid him 'cause
I know he's gonna ask
Me about the coinage that is in my pocket
But I don't know if
I should put it in his bucket
I walk right past him to think about it more
Back at the crib
I'm openin' up the door
A pocketful of change it don't mean a lot to me
My cup is half full but his is empty
I put back on my cap and
I start headin' back
I reach into my pocket and
I have a heart attack
Well as I'm diggin' deep
I scream, 'Oh no'
There's nothin' in the pocket but a great big hole
While I was busy thinkin' if he would buy smack
The jingle in my pocket it slipped through the cracks
No one has the change and it's *** *in' up my head
But now I no the reason why
I had to buy the thread
There's a hole in the bucket dear
LizaI said, 'There's a hole in the bucket dear Liza , dear Liza'
There's a hole in the bucket dear
LizaThere's a hole in the bucketdear
Liza, dear
LizaThere's a hole, there's a hole
There's a hole, there's a
There's a hole, there's a hole
There's a bigger hole
There's a bigger hole dear

LizaThere's a hole in the bucket
Hole in the bucket
Dear Liza, dear
