Blackout heatwave 44 caliber homicide[00:00:16]

The buns drop dead and dogs go mad[00:00:20]

In packs on the West Side[00:00:24]

Young girl standing on a ledge looks like another suicide[00:00:27]

She wants to hit those bricks[00:00:32]

'Cause the news at six gotta stick to a deadline[00:00:33]

While the millionaires hide in Beekman Place[00:00:37]

The bag ladies throw their bones in my face[00:00:40]

I get attacked by a kid with stereo sound[00:00:42]

I don't want to hear it but he won't turn it down[00:00:45]

Life is tough but it's just enough[00:00:48]

To hold back the tears until it's closing time[00:00:50]

I survived I'm still alive[00:00:55]

But I'm getting close to the borderline[00:00:57]

Close to the borderline[00:01:02]

A buck three eighty[00:01:09]

Won't buy you much lately on the street these days[00:01:10]

And when you can get gas[00:01:14]

You know you can't drive fast anymore on the parkways[00:01:15]

Rich man poor man either way American[00:01:20]

Shoved into the lost and found[00:01:22]

The no nuke yell we're gonna all go to hell[00:01:25]

With the next big meltdown[00:01:27]

I got remote control and a color T V[00:01:30]

I don't change channels so they must change me[00:01:33]

I got real close friends that will get me high[00:01:35]

They don't know hot to talk and they ain't gonna try[00:01:38]

I shouldn't b***h I shouldn't cry[00:01:41]

I'd start a revolution but I don't have time[00:01:43]

I don't know why I'm still a nice guy[00:01:48]

But I'm getting close to the borderline[00:01:49]

Close to the borderline[00:01:55]

I thought I'd sacrifice so many things[00:01:59]

I thought I'd throw them all away[00:02:06]

I didn't think I needed anything[00:02:14]

But you can't afford to squander what you're not prepared to pay[00:02:18]

I need a doctor for my pressure pills[00:02:26]

I need a lawyer for my medical bills[00:02:47]

I need a banker to finance my home[00:02:50]

I need security to back my loan[00:02:52]

It isn't new what I'm going through[00:02:55]

But everybody knows you got to break sometime[00:02:57]

Another night I fought the good fight[00:03:02]

But I'm getting closer to the borderline[00:03:03]

Closer to the borderline[00:03:06]
