[00:00:01] Quiet Desperation - Scatman John

[00:00:02] Written by：Antonio Nunzio Catania/John Larkin

[00:00:04] You're sitting on a milk mornin' noon and night

[00:00:06] Fantisizin' the American dream

[00:00:09] You're lookin' pretty good and you've got yourself convinced

[00:00:11] That the nightmare isn't as bad as it seems

[00:00:13] You try your best to hide yourself beneath your turned up collar

[00:00:15] And a plastic bag is all you've got to show

[00:00:17] And your books inside your shopping cart

[00:00:19] Is probably the best education you're ever gonna know hmm

[00:00:22] The guy in the Mercedes is just hollered with the dollar

[00:00:24] Better grab it 'cause the signal's turnin' green

[00:00:26] And while you're at it put the jug behind the picket fence

[00:00:28] 'Cause the cop that's drivin' by sho' looking mean

[00:00:30] Institution contribution restitution destitution

[00:00:33] Doesn't mean a thing to you now

[00:00:35] You're the freeway feature

[00:00:36] For your audience are driving by

[00:00:37] So maybe you should stand and take a bow

[00:00:40] You're living in desperation

[00:00:44] And you never have felt complete

[00:00:49] You live in anticipation

[00:00:53] Of another day on the street sing with me

[00:01:14] You're sitting in the same spot

[00:01:15] You want to go home

[00:01:16] But there ain't no home but home on the range

[00:01:18] You've forgotten what you look like and it looks like you've forgotten

[00:01:20] That the look inside your eye is very strange

[00:01:23] Ain't nothing left to hide

[00:01:24] You're stripped of all your pride and all you feel inside

[00:01:26] Is a hole a mile wide

[00:01:27] You're the freedom desperado

[00:01:28] And the perfect living model

[00:01:29] Of a land that hasn't any good excuse

[00:01:33] You're living in desperation

[00:01:37] And you never have felt complete

[00:01:41] You live in anticipation

[00:01:46] Of another day on the street sing with me

[00:02:07] Sittin' on your milkcrate blanket wrapped around you

[00:02:09] I see you sitting day after day

[00:02:11] I really like to talk but I know if I approached you

[00:02:13] You'd probably get up and walk away

[00:02:15] You're wishin' that your home of the American dream

[00:02:17] Wasn't only smoke and exhaust

[00:02:20] I love you desperado and all I gotta say

[00:02:21] You let me know how much I really lost

[00:02:25] You're living in desperation

[00:02:29] And you never have felt complete

[00:02:34] You live in anticipation

[00:02:38] Of another day on the street sing with me

[00:03:00] You're living in desperation

[00:03:04] And you never have felt complete

[00:03:09] You live in anticipation

[00:03:13] Of another day on the street sing with me
