lyrics

i know what side my bread is buttered on
it took a while to figure it out:
it's the side on the floor

every dog has a day & every day it's dog
when the cat's away i sit on the porch
& watch the young ones run
you see there's wisdom in the dance of a one-legged man
in the land of the lame he is king
the tortoise & the hare is just another line
on the liar-box TV

i know what side my bread is buttered on
it took a while to figure it out:
it's the side on the floor

it's the boutiques in the strip malls
it's the billboards along the road
it's every little drop of that soda-pop
i am going to explode

because i am the bogeyman
i can see through their designs
i am here to sing it loud & clear
i am free - i know my mind

i know what side my bread is buttered on
it took a while to figure it out:
it's the side on the floor
