Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your mouth,
Blowing on down the backroads headin’ south.
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth,
You’re an idiot, babe.
It’s a wonder that you still know how to breathe.
“No reason to get excited,” the thief, he kindly spoke,
“There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
But you and I, we’ve been through that, and this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.”
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn’t you?
People’d call, say, “Beware doll, you’re bound to fall”
You thought they were all kiddin’ you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin’ out
Now you don’t talk so loud
Now you don’t seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home?
Well, you walk into the room
Like a camel and then you frown
You put your eyes in your pocket
And your nose on the ground
There ought to be a law
Against you comin’ around
You should be made
To wear earphones
Because something is happening here
But you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
Look out kid
It’s somethin’ you did
God knows when
But you’re doin’ it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin’ for a new friend
The man in the coon-skin cap
In the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten

I ran into the fortune-teller,
she said beware of some lightning that might strike

RICH
I ran into a fortune teller that indicated several strikes were to happen in the very near future. You will be busy sifting thru all of it!

From Blago’s POV
“Someone’s got it in for me
They’re planting stories in the press
Whoever it is
I wish they’d cut it out quick
When they will I could only guess”

I noticed at the ceremony that your corrupt ways
Had finally made you blind.

I never saw it before, but it appears Robert Zimmerman and Adam Sandler are related.
Great song choice Rich.
