Some come to in grays and blues and they shake like a tambourine Some wake up and spit on the fire and it acts like gasoline Yes sir, some drone on and drool doin' nothin' for heaven's sake Some of 'em act like crows when they find a dying snake Even crows act like eagles when they find a dying snake Some been seen with a rusty knife walkin' by the railroad tracks Some been accused of laying down and workin' on their backs Yes sir, some drone on and drool doin' nothin' for goodness sakes And some of 'em act like crows when they find a dying snake Even crows act like eagles when they find a dying snake Some wake up and look around and then they go back to sleep Some come down and put on flesh and then start playin' for keeps Yes sir, some drone on and drool doin' nothin' for nobody's sake And some of 'em act like crows when they find a dying snake Even crows act like eagles when they find a dying snake
