Ain't got no job   Ain't got no smoke   Ain't got a car   His life's a joke      Living on the skids   Thinks the world's just fine   Forgot what he did   Dancing on the breadline      No one there to bind him   Nothing to remind him   Nowhere left to find him   About to lose his lifeline   He's dancing on the breadline      Forgot who he is   Forgot who he was   Used to call the shots   Now, he can't connect the dots      A mover and a shaker   Getting closer to his maker   Lower than a hemline   Dancing on the breadline      No one there to bind him   Nothing to remind him   Nowhere left to find him, nowhere      About to lose his lifeline   He's looking for a headline   Sniffing up the white lines      He's dancing on the breadline   He's dancing on the breadline   Watch him dance      About to lose his lifeline   He's looking for a headline   Sniffing up the white lines      He's dancing on the breadline   The breadline   Nowhere, nothing, nowhere      The breadline   Dancing on the breadline   Dancing on the breadline   He forgot and he ain't got nothing
