A friend of mine He'd come by to see me the other day He said: "man, I'm just a little bent Could you phone me some money my way" I said: "I'd like to help you my friend But I ain't got no money no more" Yes you know, my buck's done got shrunk And I got too many wolves hangin' 'round my door Now, the gas man wants his money And the telephone man was here yesterday Man, here's my electricity bill Which one should I pay? Man, it's so, so sad 'Cause I ain't got no money no more Well, my buck's done got shrunk And I got too many wolves hangin' 'round my door He's giving all kinds of money Over there in Washington, DC But I'm at the bottom of the food chain He ain't got nothing for me It's such a struggle, such a struggle I just don't care no more, no I don't Yeah, I think I'm just gonna' jump off the G&O, oh Lord 'Cause I got too many wolves scratchin' on my door
