Hallelujah I'm a Bum

As I listen in my head to all the songs I've written and posted over the years, as well as the new ideas I have for the future, I realize that that s.b. was right. I am a bum. I haven't been making money like other singers. I've just been making music. And if that music has been making money, I haven't been paid for it. I haven't been getting paid for being an artist; I've been getting paid for being a bum. That's just how it is, and it's time I faced up to it. Thanks, lady. And I'm sorry for saying you don't work hard. Maybe you have pulled five hundred pound barbecues through gravel backwards, by yourself, on a hand cart. Maybe you have slung hundred pound bags of sand across your shoulder, gotten burned by tar from chucking fifty pound blocks into a 600 degree kettle, carried rolls of shingles up ladders. I wouldn't know.
