Scud Mountain Boys — The Mendicant lyrics

Lyrics

I eat a chocolate rabbit
And watch Captain Kangaroo
My wife trades her life for money
While the kid’s at school
Then I toast the crotchless chatrooms
And smoke up in the yard
I wash my face and comb my hair
I can’t be seen for what I am, no
Don’t be fooled, I’m a mendicant
Don’t be charmed by my elegance
My will and I are strangers
Though we fight like family
All the scab and pimple failures
You won’t see them on me
And the sane go to excuses
While that thing is never done
All the one steps forward two steps back
So many dime and nickel backs, oh
Don’t be fooled, I’m a mendicant
Don’t be charmed by my elegance
Who will say I’m not the genius of
Who will say I’m not the genius of the premises
Who will say I’m not the genius of
Who will say I’m not the genius of the premises, oh
Don’t be fooled, I’m a mendicant
Don’t be charmed by my elegance
Don’t be fooled, I’m a mendicant
Don’t be fooled, I’m a mendicant
Don’t be fooled, I’m a mendicant
Don’t be fooled, I’m a mendicant
I’m a mendicant
