Quiet Desperation - Scatman John[00:00:01]

Written by：Antonio Nunzio Catania/John Larkin[00:00:02]

You're sitting on a milk mornin' noon and night[00:00:04]

Fantisizin' the American dream[00:00:06]

You're lookin' pretty good and you've got yourself convinced[00:00:09]

That the nightmare isn't as bad as it seems[00:00:11]

You try your best to hide yourself beneath your turned up collar[00:00:13]

And a plastic bag is all you've got to show[00:00:15]

And your books inside your shopping cart[00:00:17]

Is probably the best education you're ever gonna know hmm[00:00:19]

The guy in the Mercedes is just hollered with the dollar[00:00:22]

Better grab it 'cause the signal's turnin' green[00:00:24]

And while you're at it put the jug behind the picket fence[00:00:26]

'Cause the cop that's drivin' by sho' looking mean[00:00:28]

Institution contribution restitution destitution[00:00:30]

Doesn't mean a thing to you now[00:00:33]

You're the freeway feature[00:00:35]

For your audience are driving by[00:00:36]

So maybe you should stand and take a bow[00:00:37]

You're living in desperation[00:00:40]

And you never have felt complete[00:00:44]

You live in anticipation[00:00:49]

Of another day on the street sing with me[00:00:53]

You're sitting in the same spot[00:01:14]

You want to go home[00:01:15]

But there ain't no home but home on the range[00:01:16]

You've forgotten what you look like and it looks like you've forgotten[00:01:18]

That the look inside your eye is very strange[00:01:20]

Ain't nothing left to hide[00:01:23]

You're stripped of all your pride and all you feel inside[00:01:24]

Is a hole a mile wide[00:01:26]

You're the freedom desperado[00:01:27]

And the perfect living model[00:01:28]

Of a land that hasn't any good excuse[00:01:29]

You're living in desperation[00:01:33]

And you never have felt complete[00:01:37]

You live in anticipation[00:01:41]

Of another day on the street sing with me[00:01:46]

Sittin' on your milkcrate blanket wrapped around you[00:02:07]

I see you sitting day after day[00:02:09]

I really like to talk but I know if I approached you[00:02:11]

You'd probably get up and walk away[00:02:13]

You're wishin' that your home of the American dream[00:02:15]

Wasn't only smoke and exhaust[00:02:17]

I love you desperado and all I gotta say[00:02:20]

You let me know how much I really lost[00:02:21]

You're living in desperation[00:02:25]

And you never have felt complete[00:02:29]

You live in anticipation[00:02:34]

Of another day on the street sing with me[00:02:38]

You're living in desperation[00:03:00]

And you never have felt complete[00:03:04]

You live in anticipation[00:03:09]

Of another day on the street sing with me[00:03:13]
