lyrics
Early winter morning, frost ripping at your face with the light slowly return shows a man so out of place.
He’s broken and beaten, know the kids got no hope. His friends they don’t need him, say "he’s too strung
out on dope."
Until a man he comes along with a top hat, a pea coat, he says, “Kid you’re looking down, and I could help you out. I need a collector to rough up some fools. I need someone who’s desperate and singing the blues."
"So give us some money."
"You better talk now or I promise you this: You’ll eat your words in the shape of my fist, man you’ll pay.
Cough up that money or soon you’ll be coughing up blood."
Well the rich man got his way and the poor man got his pay, and they both felt good about it so they
went their separate ways. The rich man kept living his thrills- he’s got million dollar cars for three cent
girls.
Well our poor man took his cash and he started living fast. Drinking champagne. using cocaine. yeah
the good times would last- until a noise comes rapping from the door...they bust down that frame and
came right back for more.
"So give us your money."
"You better talk now or I promise you this: You’ll eat your words in the shape of my fist, man you’ll pay.
Cough up that money or soon you’ll be coughing up blood."
"So now give us your money."
"You better talk now or I promise you this: You’ll eat your words in the shape of my fist, man you’ll pay.
Cough up that money or soon you’ll be coughing up blood."
He’s broken and beaten, know the kids got no hope. His friends they don’t need him, say "he’s too strung
out on dope."
Until a man he comes along with a top hat, a pea coat, he says, “Kid you’re looking down, and I could help you out. I need a collector to rough up some fools. I need someone who’s desperate and singing the blues."
"So give us some money."
"You better talk now or I promise you this: You’ll eat your words in the shape of my fist, man you’ll pay.
Cough up that money or soon you’ll be coughing up blood."
Well the rich man got his way and the poor man got his pay, and they both felt good about it so they
