A man
just came to call for my rent
He knocked on my door,
so I hid until he went
But I can't hold on much longer
Seems like everything is down on me
Yes it is, an d oh yes
I used to be a man of means
You'll find something is in
the pocket of my jeans
But I can't hold on much longer
It seems to me like everything
is down on me
Yes it is, and another thing
I don't have too many friends
In fact, I can't think of any at all
But just wait till I get starboard again
And my long -lost friends
are about to fall
Knocking on my own brother's door I was knocking an hour,
but he don't live there anymore
Oh, I can't hold on much longer
It seems just like everything
is down on me
Yes, it is
Now I don't have
Too many friends, in fact
I, I can't think of any at all
But just wait,
wait till I get to be sovereign again
And my long lost friends will hear
they all come to call
Knockin' on my own brother's door
People do you know that
I knocked for an hour
But he don't live there no more
I can't hold on much longer
Seem just like everything
is down on me
People, world is down on me
