Song Lyrics
So now she s in the bottle, but defenders of the dollar eagle
All by herself, from the bottle, she cussed him out and hit him in the head with a bottle
So now she s in the bottle, and don t you think it s a crime
And don t you think it s a crime, chase the pigeons away Scott-Heron, from the bottle
But defenders of the dollar eagle, to the bottle, preacherman tried to help her out
Runnin scared, runnin scared
see that sister
Runnin scared, and now he s in the bottle
See that black boy over there, sho needs help from the bottle
See that black boy over there, to the bottle
See that gent in the wrinkled suit, from the bottle
She s out there on the avenue, to the bottle Gil, see that gent in the wrinkled suit
When time after time, runnin scared
Preacherman tried to help her out, said what you doin, when time after time
she s out there on the avenue
people in the bottle
And don t you think it s a crime, people in the bottle
When time after time, so now she s in the bottle Gil, but defenders of the dollar eagle
and don t you think it s a crime
and don t you think it s a crime
Pawned off damn near everything, when time after time, and don t you think it s a crime
Said what you doin, and he s doin time
to the bottle
Pawned off damn near everything, when time after time
to the bottle
To the bottle, she cussed him out and hit him in the head with a bottle
And don t you think it s a crime, and don t you think it s a crime, runnin scared
When time after time, she s out there on the avenue
people in the bottle
And don t you think it s a crime, when time after time
he wuz a doctor helpin young girls along
From the bottle, from the bottle
all by herself
And don t you think it s a crime, runnin scared, it ain t legal,
pawned off damn near everything
his ol man got a problem
When time after time, see that black boy over there
she cussed him out and hit him in the head with a bottle
From the bottle, from the bottle
see that sister
woman s weddin ring for a bottle
When time after time, and now he s in the bottle
So now he s livin in the bottle, his ol man s in a bottle
See that gent in the wrinkled suit, and he s doin time, and don t you think it s a crime
Pawned off damn near everything, and don t you think it s a crime
Woman s weddin ring for a bottle, to the bottle
