lyrics

She walked up to me
And in her wrinkles
Lay all the dirt
Of the gutters of the world

She grabbed my arm
To read the lines in my palm
I said: "Don't waste my time -"
"There's no future to tell."

Then I looked in her eyes
Whispered now brace yourself
I'll tell you your lot
And of all those around

She didn't budge
For she yearned to learn
What she already knew -
Hear it from somebody else

There's nothing left
To bequeath to the meek
Some was stolen, some was taxed
Inflation took the rest

It's the land of the opposites
Where the strong leech off the weak
And looking for fair treatment
Is an impossible quest

I dare you to paint
A vision a shade less bleak
With only tones of gray
To complicate the test

How unlucky, unlucky you are
That I am your fortune teller

Vagrants
by Mother Upduff

Great stuff. Love the harsh sound and that we got two slightly different takes. In a world of overly curated and produced music, this level of unopologetic musicianship stands out. Check out the rest! Mayham & Eggs
