Ain’t No Life Lyrics by The Beltones

Cheap Trinkets

0

Thought I'd get a little out of my tree, I didn't know how far I'd get
Took a look in the mirror, but I couldn't find the strength to spit
Took a dive in the water of life, and believe me you I went for a swim
And by the time the rollers finally pulled me over, I knew I'd take a ride with them
[Chorus:]
So slap the cuffs on buddy
Help yourself to my money
I wish I had more to give but you see I'm kinda strapped right now
Yeah slap the cuffs on buddy
I can see you think it's funny
And could you take your foot off my neck for a second
So I can peel my face off the ground
Getting thick, a little big for my shoes, got to thinking I was big jim slade
Some thought-he-was with a chip on his shoulder pulled the pin on this hand grenade
Made him acquainted with a brick wall, it's tough to whistle when you look that way
But the man from the law came and broke me in the balls
And now I'm counting out the months and days
[Chorus:]
Hey man I'm out now, come pick me up and we'll go get a drink
Yeah I'm out now, cross our fingers we don't end up in the clink
I'm out now, I'll step a little more light this time
I'm staying out forever, there ain't no life in a life of crime
