Songtext von In The Bottle

See that black boy over there running scared? His old man's in the bottle He done quit 9 to 5, he drinks full time Now he's living, huh, in the bottle See that black boy over there running scared? His old man's got a problem and it's a bad one He done pawned off damn near anything His old woman's wedding ring for the bottle And don't you think it's a crime? Time after time after time livin' in a bottle When people livin' in a bottle Now listen to me See that sister? She was fine Before she started drinkin' wine from the bottle She told me her old man committed a crime He's doin' time and now she's hangin' in the bottle I seen her out there on the avenue All by herself, she sure needs help from the bottle I seen the preacher man tryin' to help her She cursed him out and hit him in the head with a bottle And don't you think it's a crime? Time after time after time livin' in a bottle When people livin' in a bottle In the bottle See that black boy over there running scared? His old man's in the bottle He done quit 9 to 5, he drinks full time Now he's living, huh, in the bottle See that black boy over there running scared? His old man's got a problem and it's a bad one He done pawned off damn near anything His old woman's wedding ring for the bottle And don't you think it's a crime? Time after time after time livin' in a bottle When people livin' in a bottle Now listen to me And, and, and, and, and, and, and And don't you think it's a crime? (Don't you think it's a crime?) Time after time after time livin' in a bottle (Time after time) When people livin' in a bottle (When people livin' in a bottle) And don't you think it's a crime? (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Time after time after time livin' in a bottle When people livin' in a bottle
