Chadwick Stokes - Crowbar Hotel [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I wish I could not say then I wouldn't have to lie
But it's gonna be okay, I met more honest men inside
But I never met a cop who didn't like his jackets straight
Never met a jailer who wasn't on the take

Yeah, but I'd rather be a bum than a bitch
I'd rather catch a dog than a switch
I'd rather get a meal than a kiss
But I, I wouldn't mind both

You're just a belly rubber with the right last name
Boarding house, boss, you better lower that cane
And when it all falls out we'll be halfway to the horn
Thank the gandy dancers for a path well-worn

Yeah, but I'd rather be a bum than a bitch
I'd rather pull the pin than the switch
I'd rather be a coke than a kid
But I, I wouldn't mind both

We are sold to the highest bidder
We are down to our very last crumb
May we invite ourselves to dinner
Cause we might just have to make a run

Dreaming of their wives and dreaming of their soap
I traded all the coin for the faro and the dope
Looking for high heels in the crowbar hotel
Just an Angelina and a n'er do well

Yeah, but I'd rather be a bum than a bitch
I'd rather catch a dog than a switch
I'd rather get a meal than a kiss
But I wouldn't mind both

We are sold to the highest bidder
We are down to our very last crumb
May we invite ourselves to dinner
Cause we might just have to make a run

We are sold to the highest bidder
We are down to our very last crumb
May we invite ourselves to dinner
Cause we might just have to make a run

We are sold to the highest bidder
We are down to our very last crumb
May we invite ourselves to dinner
And then we're down and on the run

Yeah, down and on the run
