You don´t see me when I´m trying to do right Maybe you can see me now
When I was walking,
patting my feet on the pavement Really, truly trying to find a gig Did you stand up and speak out in my favor? Cold desperation, she´s a devil in bed Scratching till my bones are bare Pill and needles are all I´ve left to savor
We were walking and I told you of how my shoes Of how my shoes were wearing thin You took your surplus and traded for a favor Now I´m demented and I´m burned unto a cinder Forty hours buys a grocery bag for trash
I took my pistol and I made myself a sinner Will this universe be merciful at last?
You don´t see me. You don´t see me I get so tired of trying to attract your attention It has occurred to me that you don´t see me
You should go ahead. I´m a-gonna-go-ahead I know you´re going to ahead You´re going to do what you´re going to do I know, see, I see you, I watch you You take the money and run
You take groceries and run, too Don´t leave nothing left for me You´re running and hiding and ducking and hiding And running and hiding and I can´t find you nowhere I´ll beat your mama, I´ll beat your daddy I´ll go to jail, it don´t make no mothafugging Difference what happens to me Going to be there in my own time, in my own way Cause you don´t see me, you don´t see me I´m, I´m in your mirror.
