I've seen the crows down in the street, I ain't gonna worry 'bout what I eat. I've seen the crows in the street, I'm gonna head on down and see who I meet. I've seen a hole in a chain-link fence, I'm gonna find me a place to rest. I've seen a hole down in the fence, I'm gonna run until my head makes sense. I feel the gun between my teeth, I'm gonna die standing on my feet. I taste the gun between my teeth, Either him or me is gonna set me free.
