[Verse 1]
I've got nothing in my head
Got a floor for a bed
My future's at the bottom of a teacup
I've got half a pair of shoes
And no time to lose
I'm wondering when I'm gonna wise up

[Chorus]
So, Fortune, shine your light
On me and my nose
Cause I need some security
You get a little bad luck
And it grows and it grows
I'm the black sheep of the family

[Verse 2]
I've got half a pound of rice
A beard full of lice
Condition called retrogression
I've got a pocket full of dust
And eating is a must
If you want to make a good impression

[Chorus]
So, Fortune shine your light
On me and my dog
Cause we need some security
While other folks
Are living high off the hog
I'm the black sheep of the family
[Bridge]
Don't talk to me about society
You got to play by the rules
Or pay the penalty
Because there's nothing to choose
Between a handful of blues
Double indemnity

[Verse 3]
The whole world's wrong
And my shadow's getting long
I realize this song don't mean much
I got an ache in my head
I want to go to bed
Tomorrow, I don't have to wake up, no

[Chorus]
So, Wisdom shine your light
On me and my knees
Cause it's true what they say
About familiarity
There's nothing good this way
It's true what they say
I'm the black sheep of the family

[Chorus]
So, Wisdom shine your light
On me and my knees
It's true what they say
About familiarity
There's nothing good this way
It's true what they say
I'm the black sheep of the family
Yeah
[Outro]
I'm the black sheep of the family
Just me and my dog, yeah!
I'm the black sheep of the family
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm the black sheep of the family
You got me on my knees
I'm the black sheep of the family
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
I'm the black sheep of the family
