lyrics

Everyone's around when you're making bad choices
Swallowing the pearls and wearing the oysters
If you wanna get paid you gotta hit the books
If you wanna get rich you better learn to cook

Everyone's around when you're making mistakes
Carving their knives at the top of the food chain
If you wanna learn to fish you gotta write a check
Get a big boat baby with a crew on deck

But someone’s always looking out for you
And someone’s always got a deal for you

Everyone's around when you're making hard choices
And they're stepping over you to the highest of horses
If you wanna live right you gotta build your fix
Dig down now get your face in the bricks

But someone’s always looking out for you
And someone’s always got it out for you

[incomprehensible ramblings]

Everyone's around when you're in distress
And they're taking more and giving less
If you want a leg up, lose the helping hand
As they’re stepping over you while you tread quicksand

Someone’s always looking out for you
Someone’s always got it out for you
Someone’s always looking out
Someone’s always looking out
Someone’s always looking down on you...

He resides in Philadelphia and has a nice cat (who even has his own song). ... more
