Tenement Funster

My new purple shoes 
Bin amazin' the people next door 
And my rock'n'roll forty fives 
Bin enragin' the folks on the lower floor 
 
I got a way with the girls on my block 
Try my best to be a real individual 
And when we go down to smokies and rock 
They line up like it's some kind of ritual 
Oh give me a good guitar 
And you can say that my hair's a disgrace 
Or just find me an open car 
I'll make the speed of light outa this place 
 
I like the good things in life 
But most of the best things ain't free 
It's the same situation just cuts like a knife 
When you're young and you're poor and you're crazy 
Young and you're crazy... 
 
Oh give me a good guitar 
And you can say that my hair's a disgrace 
Or just find me an open car 
I'll make the speed of light outa this place
