I've got nothing in my head
Got a floor for a bed
My future's at the bottom of a teacup
I've got a half a pair of shoes
And no time to lose
I'm wondering when I'm going to wise up
So fortune shine your light on me and my nose
Cause we need some security
You get a little bad luck
And it grows and it grows
I'm the black sheep of the family
I've got half a pound of rice
A beard full of lice
A mission called retrogression
I've got pocket full of dust
And eating is a must
If you want to make a good impression
So fortune shine your light on me and my dog
Cause we need some security
While all the folks are living high up the hog
I'm the black sheep of the family
Don't talk to me about society
You got to play the rules
Or pay the penalty
Because there's nothing to choose
Between a handful of blues
Double indemnity
All the words are wrong,
And my shadow's getting long
I realise this song don't mean much
I got an ache in my head
And want to go to bed
Tomorrow I don't have to wake up, no
So wisdom shine your light on me and my knees
Cause it's true what they say about familiarity
There's nothing good this way,
It's true they say
I'm the black sheep of the family
Oh, my wisdom shine your light on me and my knees
It's true what they say about familiarity
There's nothing good this way
It's true they say
I'm the black sheep of the family
Yeah, yeah
I'm the black sheep of the family
Just me and my dog, yeah, yeah
I'm the black sheep of the family
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm the black sheep of the family
You got me on my knees
I'm the black sheep of the family
Yeah, yeah, yeah
