[00:00:03] Written by：Gil Scott-Heron

[00:00:07] See that white boy over there runnin' scared

[00:00:10] His ol' man's got a bottle

[00:00:15] He said he's gonna quit his 9 to 5 now he's drinking full time

[00:00:18] In the bottle

[00:00:22] See that fat boy over there runnin' scared

[00:00:25] His ol' man got a problem

[00:00:30] Pawned off damn near everything his ol'

[00:00:32] Woman's weddin' ring for a bottle

[00:00:38] And don't you think it's a crime

[00:00:42] When time after time after time livin' in the bottle

[00:00:48] Now he's in the bottle

[00:00:53] See that sister sure looks fine before she

[00:00:55] Started sippin' wine

[00:00:56] From the bottle

[00:00:59] She told me her ol' man committed a crime

[00:01:02] And now he's doin' time

[00:01:03] She's livin' in the bottle

[00:01:07] She's out there on the avenue all by herself

[00:01:10] Sho' needs help from the bottle

[00:01:15] Preacherman tried to help her out

[00:01:17] She cussed him out and hit him in the head with a bottle

[00:01:23] And don't you think it's a crime

[00:01:27] When time after time after time livin' in the bottle

[00:01:33] Now he's in the bottle

[00:02:00] See that gent in the wrinkled suit

[00:02:02] He done damn near blown his cool

[00:02:04] To the bottle

[00:02:07] He was a doctor helpin' young girls along

[00:02:09] If they weren't too far gone to have a problem

[00:02:15] But defenders of the dollar bill

[00:02:17] Said 'What you doin' Doc it ain't legal '

[00:02:19] And now he's in the bottle

[00:02:23] Now we watch him everyday tryin' to

[00:02:25] Chase the pigeons away

[00:02:27] From the bottle

[00:02:31] And don't you think it's a crime

[00:02:35] When time after time after time livin' in the bottle

[00:02:41] Now he's in the bottle
