I have twenty flat nails,
And twenty seven sharp teeth,
A thousand miles of plumbing
‘Round a five-ten frame
And I can feel in my bones before it rains
A crack in the engine and no one to blame.
I have no feathers, I stand on two legs,
Built no states and earned no wage,
I want for everything but will not beg.
I have twenty flat nails
And twenty seven sharp teeth,
I’m the one who falls after all else fails
