lyrics

We don't have no villas or bungalows
We don't have no drinks on the patio
We don't have no swank tuxedos
We don't even try
We don't have no fancy logos
We don't have no drinks on the patio
We don't have no shares portfolio
We don't want our fingers in the pie
WE HOBOS WE NOMADS
WE GYPSIES WANDERING JEWS
WE HOBOS
AND ANY PLACE WE HANG OUR HAT WILL DO
We don't order lattes, capuccinos
We don't dine on oysters or escargots
Open up a rare Chateau Margaux
But we ain't gonna cry
We don't have no quadraphonic stereo
We don't have no paintings by Van Gogh
We don't drive no Roller or Peugeot
You can't take it with you when you die
Everyday we incognito
Following wherever our feet go
Noone tells us where we need go
Noone waves goodbye
Far away from neon light glow
Sit and watch the setting sun go
Lie awake and watch the night show
That's playing in the sky
