Curtis on the Corner Lyrics

Two bird cages in a window sill
Ten chickens in a yard
Three Isuzus in one driveway

A singing butcher at the grocery store
A neighborhood dealer with a grin full of tinfoil
A lost cat flyer blowing down the road

Everybody sees Curtis on the corner
Cause his afro is so big
The wedding dress store is doing real good
Gang bangers noising up the neighborhood
Order my pizza through the bulletproof glass
White folks never come down here

Pitbull singing to a police siren
Local pimp is chewing on a rib
Eleven immigrants all staring at a driver
A missionary Mormon in a cheap black suit

I pan across the preacher getting his shoe shined
A billboard selling drugged up milk
A dead bottle rocket on my front porch

The rich get rich
The poor get poorer
It's the same old story
In fact it's kind of boring
There's a nice pair of shoes hanging from a telephone wire
