[00:00:01] Written by：Mcclinton

[00:00:21] She ran out of luck and started sweating bullets

[00:00:23] She tried to get a job but she couldn't do it

[00:00:26] Now she's living in a suitcase out on the street

[00:00:32] He said I love your family they sure are funny

[00:00:35] You know what I hate to ask but can

[00:00:36] You loan me some money

[00:00:38] I'm trying to get a grip trying to get back on my feet

[00:00:43] But she's sleeping in the kitchen on the hardwood floor

[00:00:46] Sait it fixed her back it don't hurt no more

[00:00:49] She's looking real good

[00:00:50] But she's having some trouble with her knees

[00:00:54] They looking for some kinda satisfaction

[00:00:58] Working off some kinda chain reaction

[00:01:00] Trying to get a handle on

[00:01:02] Whatever it is they need

[00:01:06] Victims of the situation

[00:01:09] Can't rise above their own desperation

[00:01:12] They keep on pushing

[00:01:13] But they can't get it up to speed

[00:01:40] He's standing in the mirror combing his hair

[00:01:43] Getting all dressed up

[00:01:44] But he ain't going nowhere

[00:01:45] You could cut him with a knife

[00:01:47] And I betcha he wouldn't even bleed

[00:01:51] He said hey doc take a look at this

[00:01:54] It don't work and I'm scared to death

[00:01:57] He said I got something for you

[00:01:58] But you only get the first one free

[00:02:02] Never seen a woman that crazy about a man

[00:02:05] Like a devil and an angel hand in hand

[00:02:08] She knows what he is

[00:02:10] But that ain't the life he leads

[00:02:14] They looking for some kinda satisfaction

[00:02:16] Working off some kinda chain reaction

[00:02:19] Trying to get a handle on whatever it is they need

[00:02:25] Victims of the situation

[00:02:28] Can't rise above their own desperation

[00:02:31] They keep on pushing

[00:02:32] But they can't get it up to speed
