Styx - Street Collage Lyrics
Well, you see now
I'm a depression baby
And I remember the WPA
If we could just start the same thing again
And get people working out
Is it too menial for somebody to sweep the street?
And if you've got enough money where you don't have to work
Let's face it, who wants to work?
There's no reason why anybody
That five generations of people
Got to be on welfare
I had one gentlemen get in ---
No offense to you gentlemen, he had long hair and a beard --
He had better go home and take a bath;
He had B.O. so bad, it was terrible
I said "You might be educated,
But did your parents tell you to go dirty?"
See the latest issue
Hard up, see
Chicago scene
Kids nowadays, that's the whole thing
Too much money, they've got too much money
They don't have to struggle and work for things
Like when I was growing up had to do
And I was lucky if I got that job
Delivering hats in a hat store
For twenty-five cents per hat
Too much money today is with the young kids
Everything was handed to 'em,
And that's why they are the way they are

Styx Street Collage Comments
The "Street Collage" section is quite pretentious and unnecessary. Otherwise not bad for a first try. Thanks for uploading.
Love the early era Styx. This and Little Fugue with Father O.S.A. are two of my favorites by Styx.Kind of Proggy and awesome. Dennis Deyoung,John Curlewski,JY, and the Panazzo brothers were an underated and awesome lineup as was Tommy Shaw later on.
Is it too menial for somebody to sweep the street? You might be educated -but- did your parents teach you to go around dirty? Too Much Money today is with the young kids, everything is handed to them & THAT'S why they are the way they ARE. Peace,r.
i was refering to GRAND FUNK RAILROAD, but OK
Tats becuase one of the songs for this album was written my George S. Clinton
VERY strange to see Gown wearing a Kilroy Was Here t-shirt in the still at 1:34

seems like every JY song has the lyric "YEAH!!!" somewhere at some point in the song...gotta love it
Cool track...
