Back On The Street - Utopia[00:00:00]
Written by:Todd Rundgren[00:00:01]
They tell me I've paid back the debt I owed[00:00:08]
Forty four months since the slammer door closed[00:00:13]
They give me a suit and put me back on[00:00:17]
The road[00:00:20]
And my thoughts are racing[00:00:20]
Where do I go what am I supposed to live[00:00:26]
On[00:00:29]
What happens when the twenty five dollars is gone[00:00:30]
That leaves me lots of time to wonder why I[00:00:34]
Was born[00:00:37]
But the countdown is on[00:00:38]
Everybody's dancing[00:00:42]
The music sounds entrancing but you can't find the beat[00:00:44]
It's the ticking of a thousand human time bombs[00:00:50]
Who are back on the street[00:00:54]
Oh the names have been changed but the story's the[00:00:58]
Same[00:01:01]
History will repeat[00:01:02]
Add it all up and then divide it by zero[00:01:07]
'Cause you're back on the street[00:01:10]
I can't stand the strain of this job no more[00:01:17]
I must have forgot what I took it on for[00:01:21]
I make lots of money yet still I want more[00:01:25]
And my head is blazing[00:01:29]
I think that I'll check out the shops downtown[00:01:34]
Sometimes it helps to buy things when I feel brought[00:01:38]
Down[00:01:42]
At this hour I might dodge those hippie low life's[00:01:43]
Around[00:01:45]
But the countdown is on[00:01:46]
Once you had to stand out looking for a handout[00:01:51]
Free love and body heat[00:01:54]
And that money's just a crumpled green ball in your[00:01:58]
Pocket[00:02:01]
When you're back on the street[00:02:02]
Oh the names have been changed but the story's the[00:02:06]
Same[00:02:09]
History will repeat[00:02:11]
Add it all up and then divide it by zero[00:02:15]
'Cause you're back on the street[00:02:18]
Back on the street again[00:02:23]
Said you're back on the street again[00:02:26]
The countdown is on[00:02:31]
And nobody knows when[00:02:33]
Spreading like a cancer[00:03:21]
Looking for the answer in everyone you meet[00:03:23]
And each in his way has a hustle to play[00:03:29]
When he's back on the street[00:03:32]
Oh the names have been changed but the story's the[00:03:37]
Same[00:03:40]
History will repeat[00:03:41]
Add it all up and then divide it by zero[00:03:45]
'Cause you're back on the street[00:03:49]
Back on the street again[00:03:53]
Said you're back on the street again[00:03:57]
The countdown is on[00:04:01]
And nobody knows when[00:04:03]
