Verse
C G
I need inspiration, I'm so disconnected
Am F
I look to the streets, but they're so disinfected
C G
I wish that I came from an edgier place
Am F
With taxis and transients up in my face
Am Em
Where you write what you know and you know what you write
F G
Will be hailed as the second coming
C G
There's a buzz on the streets where you grew up homeless
Am
And begging for change
F
Well, I'm begging for change
[Chorus]
F C
Cause we're hung up on crosses and obeying bosses
F C
And there's no inspiration, just appreciation for
F Am
Seventy and sunny and one for the money
F G F G C
And two for the show on my lily white way
[Verse 2]
C G
There lives a black man, the seal has been broken
Am F
And they marvel at how he's so very well spoken
C G
He must be a doctor or something productive
Am F
His body let go, but his color seductive
Am Em
And all of the women, he's touching their lives
F G
While they're safe at home touching themselves
C G
And the men, they just love that there's something, anything
Am F
Happening at all, behind bedroom walls
[Chorus]
F C
Cause we're hung up on crosses and obeying bosses
F C
And there's no inspiration, just appreciation for
F Am
Seventy and sunny and one for the money
F G F G C
And two for the show on my lily white way
[Verse 3]
C G
There's the sixties throwback who misses the Dead
Am F
She's a liberal at heart but conservative in bed
C G
And she held out on Starbucks as long as she could
Am F
But the mom and pop store in our neighborhood
Am Em
Well, the workers all look down their noses at her
F G
She'll go broke trying to please them with tips
C G
So she gets to the corporate run coffee shop early
Am
Where the smell of it hits
F
Before it reaches her lips
[Chorus]
F C
She's bearing the crosses of neighborhood losses
F C
And the uninspired and semi-retired
F Am
She's seventy and sunny, but it's one for the money
F G F G C
And two for the show on her lily white way
[Instrumental]
F C x4
[Chorus]
F C
We're hung up on crosses and old Pagan bosses
F C
And there's no inspiration, just appreciation for
F Am
Seventy and sunny and one for the money
F G F G C
And two for the show on my lily white way
[Verse 4]
C Gm
D# little destruction makes way for construction
Am F
The city expansion holds traffic for ransom
Cm Gm
And brand new brick buildings, of those I am certain
Am F
Will leave our lives so much more sterile than urban
Am Em
And welcome the progress or be overrun
F G
Every third house a pool, every second a gun
C G
And on Saturday evenings the doors open wide
Am
It's a neighborhood waltz
F
That's the neighborhood pride
[Chorus]
F C
And dresses disheveled from dances with devils
F C
Once hung up on crosses, now flipping off their bosses
F Am
And everything is funny and it's one for the money
F G F G C
And two for the show on their lily white way
F Am
One night of living is Sunday forgiven
F G F G C
All for the show on our lily white way
[Outro]
C Gm
I need inspiration, I'm so disconnected
Am F
I look to the streets, but they're so disinfected
