Slum Lord

"I’m walking down this street 
With its ghetto democracy and high-rise hypocrisy. 
And I’m hearing what they’re sayin’ 
Sayin’ I’m strayin’ 
Society’s frayin’ 
From these hoodlum games I’ve been playin’  
I’ve been taking bets 
Paying debts with my life 
Sellin’ elephants to your sister’s wife. 
And after all my wrong doing 
I get down on my knees and 
I’m prayin’ 
Praying for the Lord’s sweet mercy 
Till death do us part 
I am bound to her in matrimony 
Stained in marmite and mascarpone. 
This night 
I get down on my knees and pray 
That the Lord will cure my addictions some day."
