The Bottom Line

Pack away your wordy rhymes

'Cause it's all a waste of time

You can't sell your precious art

But there's a cure for bleeding hearts

We've all gotta swim to the bottom

The fun begins at the bottom

The air gets thin at the bottom line

It's deep - sea green at the bottom

It gets pretty mean at the bottom

It's a back - stabbin' scene at the bottom line

Never mind your "noble" fight

Or your whims of wrong & right

You're getting weaker by the hour

Because those ghost have lost their power

They must kneel to the bottom

That's what's real at the bottom

Beg,borrow,steal at the bottom line

But if you can score at the bottom

You can hide from the roar of the bottom

Of the class - color war at the bottom line

Trade your childhood guise

For a suit of grown - up sighs

Just a hypocrite,you see

You're no different than me

It's the haves & have - nots at the bottom

Take your best shot at the bottom

The soup's gettin' hot at the bottom line

But once you take a drink from the bottom

Like a stone you'll sink to the bottom

There'll be no time to think at the bottom line

There's a shady lookin' guy at the bottom

Don't look him in the eye at the bottom

Hurry on by at the bottom line

Let the buyer beware at the bottom

It ain't all about fair at the bottom

I'll see you there at the bottom line

It's the haves & have - nots

Take your best shot at the bottom

I'll save you a spot at the bottom line
