I can hound you if I need to
Sip your brandy from a crystal shoe
In the corner, in the corner While the others climb, reaching dizzy heights
The world's in front of me in black and white
I'm on the bottom line, I'm on the bottom line I'd have a cardiac if I had such luck
Lucky losers, lucky losers
Landing on skid row, landing on skid row While the Diamond Jims and the Kings road pimps
Breath heavy in their brand new clothes
I'm on the bottom line, I'm on the bottom line And I gotta get a meal ticket
To survive you need a meal ticket
To stay alive you need a meal ticket Feel no pain, no regret
When the line's been signed, you're someone else
Do yourself a favor, the meal ticket does the rest Shake a hand if you have to
Trust in us and we will love you
Anyway, anyway Don't leave us stranded in the jungle
With fifty percent that's hard to handle
Ain't that so, ain't that so And I gotta get a meal ticket
To survive you need a meal ticket
To stay alive you need a meal ticket Feel no pain, no regret
When the line's been signed, you're someone else
Do yourself a favor, the meal ticket does the rest
Meal ticket Gotta get a meal ticket and I gotta get a meal ticket
To survive you need a meal ticket
To stay alive you need a meal ticket Feel no pain, no regret
When the line's been signed, you're someone else
Do yourself a favor, the meal ticket does the rest Meal ticket, meal ticket
Meal ticket, meal ticket
Meal ticket
