When the line's been signed, you're someone else
To survive you need a meal ticket
The world's in front of me in black and white
And I gotta get a meal ticket
Don't leave us stranded in the jungle
Do yourself a favor, the meal ticket does the rest
Ain't that so, ain't that so
I'm on the bottom line, I'm on the bottom line
With fifty percent that's hard to handle
Feel no pain, no regret
Meal ticket
In the corner, in the corner
Meal ticket, meal ticket
To survive you need a meal ticket
Breath heavy in their brand new clothes
And I gotta get a meal ticket
Gotta get a meal ticket and I gotta get a meal ticket
Feel no pain, no regret
Trust in us and we will love you
Lucky losers, lucky losers
Feel no pain, no regret
To stay alive you need a meal ticket
I'd have a cardiac if I had such luck
Anyway, anyway
To survive you need a meal ticket
When the line's been signed, you're someone else
When the line's been signed, you're someone else
I'm on the bottom line, I'm on the bottom line
Landing on skid row, landing on skid row
Do yourself a favor, the meal ticket does the rest
To stay alive you need a meal ticket
While the others climb, reaching dizzy heights
Do yourself a favor, the meal ticket does the rest
Meal ticket, meal ticket
While the Diamond Jims and the Kings road pimps
To stay alive you need a meal ticket
Shake a hand if you have to
