Made me cringe at least.
beg me beg you
sit back and watch while I get that dough
I walk through the park
Tapping my cane
watching through dark glass
the eyes of sorrow and pity
not stopping for old men or helpless ladies
I spit my sob story
I tell the tale of woe which you’ve never heard yet hear day after day
Great scott you say what a sad pitiful fellow
You throw copper in my cup and say god bless you son get yourself a warm meal
I say god bless you ma’am may you have a heart which can feel
After a dishonest days work and several citizens robbed blindly
I make my way down the row and pick up 2 bags of raw blindness
After 2 hours of blackness I hate the sight of those dark glasses
But I put them on again and find myself back in the midst
Of 100 strange strangers with the means to strike blindness
In a not so blind stranger looking to rob blind those who blind him

I've been trying to get together with a few friends, sax, keyboard, two guitars, and a bassist.
Been trying months to get a drummer. There is this buddy of mine who just moved back from NYC and plays black metal drums, but will NEVER follow through. Completely unreliable.
Can't have a band without a drummer.
