Water on the Moon (apologies to Gil Scott Heron)

[bigtree]

A rat done bit my sister Nell.
(with Water on the moon)
Her face and arms began to swell.
(and Water's on the moon)
I can't pay no doctor bill.
(but Water's on the moon)
Ten years from now I'll be payin' still.
(while Water's on the moon)
The man jus' upped my rent las' night.
('cause Water's on the moon)
No hot water, no toilets, no lights.
(but Water's on the moon)
I wonder why he's uppi' me?
('cause Water's on the moon?)
I wuz already payin' 'im fifty a week.
(with Water on the moon)
Taxes takin' my whole damn check,
Junkies makin' me a nervous wreck,
The price of food is goin' up,
An' as if all that shit wuzn't enough:
A rat done bit my sister Nell.
(with Water on the moon)
Her face an' arm began to swell.
(but Water's on the moon)
Was all that money I made las' year
(for Water on the moon?)
How come there ain't no money here?
(Hmm! Water's on the moon)
Y'know I jus' 'bout had my fill
(of Water on the moon)
I think I'll sen' these doctor bills,
Airmail special
(to Water on the moon)
