Drunken Madman

I tried to buy a cup of coffee
With a dollar twenty nine
But my foodstamp card came up short
So my senorita clerk began to whine

I shot her an evil eye
And she saw my skinhead rage
I climbed a tree and broke a branch
Will she let them put me back in a cage?

Contradictions and misconceptions
Too many details, hard to explain
Should we take part in the elections?
Once flushed, can we climb out of the drain?

When I get drunk, I'm a madman!!!
Surely reefer is a much safer drug
White rebel rocker ain't no Ku Klux Klan
Hey! That cop who maced me is a goon thug -
A gun-totin' slug with a moronic mug
He threatens to send me back to Germany (never been there)
And all I can do is grin and shrug

Upside down and inside out
White boy walkin' alone
Starts to scream, shoot, and shout
You all know exactly what I'm talkin' about
You think being RED is tough?
Try being a KRAUT
I'm going extinct -
This fact you can't even doubt!

Drunken Madman, like Jackson's THRILLER
You don't want to see me eight years sober
I might become some kind of killer
And my ghost would forever haunt October

I know that at any time I could take my own life
Setting my spirit free from this goddamned strife
And even though your money stole my wife
I won't bring myself to stab you with my knife

With samarambi I excite myself
Drum-beating myself into a trance
Behold the notes I left upon the shelf
I unleash the voodoo and the Ghost Dance

Did you take heed of MALCOM X?
Did you doubt a white boy could learn to HEX?
What do you get when you breed a KRAUT with a MEX?
I guess we'll never read that unwritten TEXT
