Deep down in the city 'neath the concrete trees   Some signifying hack was scratching backs for fleas   Putting on their bad mouths on poor little me   Spreading ugly [Incomprehensible] like it's some horrible disease      He said that I said what I never did said   But I said that it's rare that it's over your head   Ask me a question, then print a lie   I cancelled all appointments having vowed that he will die      So I went to find the source of this malicious dirt   Having re-read the words and washed the blood from my shirt   When I found him he was sitting high up in a tree   With one dirty finger on a typewriter key      Sky is gray and the grass unseen   And you're the dumbest **** this city's ever seen   He was laughing, shaking, high up in a tree   But then he lost his balance and he fell down on his knees      So I leapt on that mother, my anger to appease   When I grabbed him by the throat, he said, "Oh, spare me please"   Sure as gullible as my name, I let him go back to the trees   And straight away the poisons flowing freely from the keys      The sky is gray and the grass unseen   And he's still the dumbest **** this concrete jungle's ever seen   That mother he was laughing, bathing in the heat   But then he slipped again and landed in the street      Deep down in the city 'neath the concrete trees   Nobody's seen that mother high in the fleas   But there's a new one in the obituaries   And it shows four stars where the name oughta be
