Kool-Aid Kids
My nose is long and my temper is short
And I want to know everything
People like lead boots are holdin' me down
Gonna drown if it ever rains
Well I ain't lyin' there's good folks dyin'
'cause everybody's got a way
Come on children think about you
Is this the way you wanna be
Well I can name you a dozen or more
Ways of catastrophe
Friends, beggars, hookers, thieves
Anything you wanna see
They all come down on the Kool-Aid Kids
Gonna try and steal their dimes
Common people don't make no sense
Lord it's such a crime
Picture their faces smiling
Each in their places
Counting on their toes
Secret ambition trying
Wide open spaces
You're invited, too
Well my nose is long and my temper is short
And I want to know everything
People like lead boots are holdin' me down
Gonna drown if it ever rains
Well I ain't lyin' there's good folks dyin'
'cause everybody's got a way
Come on children think about you
Is this the way you wanna be
Well I can name you a dozen or more
Ways of catastrophe
Friends, beggars, hookers, thieves
Anything you wanna see
They all come down on the Kool-Aid Kids
Gonna try and steal their dimes
Common people don't make no sense
Lord it's such a crime
