86'd (Good as Gone)

I read the mail today, they're throwing me out of town
There isn't any way, I get to stick around
They took my stereo when I turned the volume up
And when I gave them drugs, they couldn't get enough

Turn the tourniquet till I'm sick of it
See the other side, always overdrawn
Feeling like a pawn
Somebody lied
Somebody lied

I got the news today, they'll tear my apartment down
There isn't any way, I get to stick around
I never thought I'd see new condos going up
And now I've gotta scream, I've had enough!

Turn the tourniquet, I'm so sick of it
Where's the other side? No more bills to pay
Neighbors gone away
Somebody died
Somebody died
Somebody died

Turn the tourniquet, I'm so sick of it
Where's the other side? No more bills to pay
Neighbors gone away, somebody died
Turn the tourniquet till I'm sick of it
See the other side, always overdrawn
Feeling like a pawn, somebody lied
