The Landlord's Knocking On My Door, He Says He Wants The Rent
I'm Sitting In The Kitchen Wondering Where The Money's Spent
A Whole Lot Of People Treating Me Unkind
I Seem To Have The Blues Most All The Time

I'm Lying In My Bed Hatching Million-dollar Schemes
The Cops Are Using Radar Trying To Intercept My Dreams
A Whole Lot Of People Treating Me Unkind
I Seem To Have The Blues Most All The Time

I Went To Get A Job 'cos I Badly Needed The Pay
I Got A Warm Reception: They Said 'Bum! Go Away!'
A Whole Lot Of People Treating Me Unkind
I Seem To Have The Blues Most All The Time

Well I Owed A Lot Of Money; I Was Weak And Easily Led
I Tried To Rob A Bank: The Cashier Shot Me Dead
A Whole Lot Of People Treating Me Unkind
But It Don't Matter Now, 'cos I Got Peace Of Mind
Nothing Matters Now 'cos I Got Peace Of Mind.
