Bilingual
Called in sick one day
Stepped out my front door
Squinted up at the sky
Strapped on my backpack
Got into a van
And when I returned I had
Ex-wives and children
And boxes of photographs
They gave me some food
They didn't charge me
They gave me some coffee
They didn't charge me
But when I was broke
I needed more
And now that I'm rich
They give me coffee
Eating an ice cream cone
And texting with my thumbs
Flipping off the asshole
Who pulled into my lane
Life could be longer
Than it's often cracked up to be
They say you get new cells every seven years
I feel seven today
It's a good day to die again
Now they save me my place
Over there in the corner
And I never get tickets
I only get warnings
But when I was broke
I needed more
And now that I'm rich
I get free coffee
