Deep down in the city 'neath the concrete trees Some signifying hack was scratching backs for fleas Putting on their bad mouths on poor little me Spreading ugly [Incomprehensible] like it's some horrible disease He said that I said what I never did said But I said that it's rare that it's over your head Ask me a question, then print a lie I cancelled all appointments having vowed that he will die So I went to find the source of this malicious dirt Having re-read the words and washed the blood from my shirt When I found him he was sitting high up in a tree With one dirty finger on a typewriter key Sky is gray and the grass unseen And you're the dumbest **** this city's ever seen He was laughing, shaking, high up in a tree But then he lost his balance and he fell down on his knees So I leapt on that mother, my anger to appease When I grabbed him by the throat, he said, "Oh, spare me please" Sure as gullible as my name, I let him go back to the trees And straight away the poisons flowing freely from the keys The sky is gray and the grass unseen And he's still the dumbest **** this concrete jungle's ever seen That mother he was laughing, bathing in the heat But then he slipped again and landed in the street Deep down in the city 'neath the concrete trees Nobody's seen that mother high in the fleas But there's a new one in the obituaries And it shows four stars where the name oughta be
