Translation
Bilingual
Jack is in the basement, mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement, thinking 'bout the government
A man in a trench coat, the bad child laid off
Says he's got a bad cough, wants to get it paid off
"Look out, kid, son of your dear"
God knows when, what you're doing here
The kid you better jump down the alleyway
Looking for a new friend
A man in a green-skinned cap
But he been limping on the bills that you've already counted
Maggie comes fleet foot, face full of black soot
Talking 'bout the heat, bigger plans than the bed
One phone stab and any man, Maggie says in any city
Must bust in early May, orders from the D.A
So look out, kid, look out, kid
We all get born, keep warm, short pants, romance
Learn to dance, get dressed, give a piss
But try to be a success, please sir, please him, buy gifts
And 20 years of schooling, then they put you on the day shift
Look out, kid, son of your dear
Jump down, man, learn not to suck the candy
Don't try to sand him, he's mad with all his vandals
Don't want to be a boy, but a trigger on the pump don't work
Vandals take the handcuff
