The Pawn Shop Papa peddles Pride
You better watch that Pride;
you’re taking kindly to his kind.
He’s a thief in the night.
Yeah, he’ll suck the ol’ River dry.
With a mask of newsprint-papier mache
and a brass, good intent, toothy display
the old-buddy, do-gooder, freeway way…
But he’s a back-stabbin’, crooked-shootin’, son-of-a-HEY!
You better watch that Pride,
or he’s gonna have your hide.
An inch of success to a small child
Can pave the muchness of a million miles
Of speed-limitless, eye-spy dollar signs.
