A man was bothering me today and I
wanted to tell him to go away
But I stood and listened to him anyway, okay.
He said he didnt want to shoot that man
And it was his thing and I wouldnt understand
And he had done all that he can, okay.
I guess his body was as good as mine
And just like me he was wasting time
Turning over every stone to see what he could find, okay.
He was filling tank and he asked for money
I lied and said I didnt have any
Then my conscious took over and I gave him a hand full of change.
Dont do a thing.
Stay right there.
Youll lie there.
You dont seem to care
I know its hard to survive in the city
When the beautiful days dont look so pretty
And you dont have windows to keep the night away, okay.
He was dirty and stink and just a bit crude
But I didnt say that because thats kind of rude
And he didnt care what I had to say in the first place, okay.
I wanted to say youre a big disgrace to the world,
yourself, and the human race
And reach back and pop him one good time in the face, okay.
No its not okay and I didnt do that
I gave him a smile and tipped my hat and told him to have a very nice rest
of the day
Dont do a thing. Dont do a thing.
Stay right there.
Youll lie there. Youll lie there.
You dont seem to care.
Well, I guess he bought some booze with it
And sure that bothers me a little bit but its his life and I cant tell him
how to live it
As he turned and started to go his way I tried to think of something wise to
say like…
Dont do a thing.
Stay right here.
Youll die here.
You dont seem to care.
Youll die here.
You dont seem to care
