Lyrics

Chorus
Hey sister Shannon
How?s the Village treating you today?
The East Side?s nothing less than tough and
Hey, sister Shannon
Don?t work too hard, the city can hit you
Like a bus in the face
It could happen

Verse 1
Thank you for the help with the changes
Did you save your pennies for your rice
And your cup of soup?

It?s not all good news with your
Black humor and your Steely Dan blues
It?s not all good news
Black humor, steely Dan blues

Verse2
Did you think the skinhead would
Just pick you up off the ground?
Do you carry the knife that Roman gave you?
Does it make you feel any safer?

Chorus

It?s not all good news with your
Black humor and your Steely Dan blues
It?s not all good news
Black humor, Steely Dan blues

Thank you for the help with the changes
Did you save your pennies for your rice
And your cup of soup?

Chorus
