Been In The Streets Too Long Lyrics by Annette Peacock

Been In The Streets Too Long

1974

Now I used up the toothpaste 2 days ago
And we've been living on rice and beans
I got too many holes in my jeans
And the landlord's been threatening to evict us, you know
It's all falling apart at the seams
And I've run out of dreams and schemes
I'm wondering if it's weakness or am I strong
I'm wondering if I'm right or I'm wrong
And I keep thinking nobody cares about truth of song
Cause I've been now in the streets too long
And my friends are all just as broke as me
And they allude to the poetry in being poor
It just keeps depressing me more and more
And they're coming tomorrow to off my G. & E
You know they don't give you nothing for free
And I consider it an assault on my dignity
I'm wondering if it's weakness or am I strong
I'm wondering if I'm right or I'm wrong
And I keep thinking nobody cares about truth of song
Cause I've been now in the streets too long
And my kid's just informed me she's outgrown her shoes
And I can't give her any good news
