lyrics

Well there's a man on the corner, he's lookin' at me
He's lookin' real mean and he's taller than a tree
I just say, "Listen mister I been tryin' to be free"
And he says, "Me too, that's why I joined the army"

And it's a fine line I been walkin' on
Hangin' 'round in this old town

There's a woman in the kitchen she's standin' on her head
She says she loves me but she thinks my name is Ted
And when I try to argue she says she'll knock me dead
But I think I'll just leave this kitchen instead

I seen 100-million people all wearin' the same pants
They're marchin' around like a bunch of little ants
Me, I'm gettin' out, I'm goin' off to France
And I can tell you when I get there I'm gonna do a little dance

All these politicians, they ain't got no nerves
They got a way of sayin' nothin' with a whole lot of words
I don't know what you mighta thought ya heard
But they treat other people like a bunch of little turds

I been thinkin' real hard, I been thinkin' too much
Me and my head are like a cripple and a crutch
And I haven't yet decided if it would be such
A good idea for me to go out and try to get touched

And it's a fine line I been walkin' on
And now I'm gettin' outta this old town
