"Well, I had just got out from the county prison, Doin' ninety days for non-support. Tried to find me an executive position, But no matter how smooth I talked, They wouldn't listen to the fact that I was genius. The man said, "We got all that we can use," Now I got themSteadily depressin', low down mind-messin' Workin' at the carwash blues."
