lyrics

on the outskirts
of Electri City
where the bastards
try to take my money
and my mind hurts
'cause i dont have any
to begin with
to begin with

from the backwoods
to the great big city
living on my words
but there aint many
that are even worth
more than a penny
to begin with
to begin with

dont look now
they cant catch you anyway
try somehow
to keep living day to day
what goes round
comes back a better way
baby

with my legs spread
living in the moment
leaves me half dead
and searching for atonement
in some broken bread
the leavings of the lonely
to begin with
to begin with

dont look now
they cant catch you anyway
try somehow
to keep living day to day
what goes round
will come back a better way
baby

and youre running but you cant say where or how
and your loving got a little bit lost somehow
now youre wondering who would raise the cost of now
of now

on this great search
still you aint found lovin
and your body hurts
from all of its runnin
will you finally learn
it dont take nothing to begin with
to begin with
i said it dont take nothing to begin with
