Lyrics

Crumb Begging Baghead

Don't take me for a sunbeam

Don't take me for a sunbeam, a sunbeam, a sunbeam

It's just another faction of

Like another fraction of

Another taxer of your life

Don't take me for a sunbeam

Don't take me for a sunbeam, a sunbeam, a sunbeam

I'm a crumb beggin' baghead baby yeah

I'm a crumb beggin' baghead baby yeah

Bet you say that to all of the girls

And all the long lost wars

Any causes worth dying for

What passing bells for those die like cattle again

And again and again

Don't take me for a sunbeam

Don't take me for a sunbeam, a sunbeam, a sunbeam

I'm a crumb beggin' baghead baby yeah

I'm a crumb beggin' baghead baby yeah

Bet you say that to all of the girls

If you ever smile in the street of crocodiles

I doubt you'll ever smile again

Ah don't..... yeah
