The Get Out Of The Ghetto Blues Lyrics - Gil Scott-heron

I know you think you're cool 

Lord if they bus your kids to school 

I know you think you're cool 

Just cause they bus your kids to school 

But you ain't got a thing to lose 

You just got the get out of the ghetto blues 

I know you think you're cool 

If you're gettin' two welfare checks 

You done told me you think you're cool 

Because you're gettin' two welfare checks 

Yea but you got ten years to lose (if they catch you) 

Just tryin' to fight that get out of the ghetto blues 

If he don't catch you in the wash 

Lord knows he'll catch you in the rinse 

I know you think you're cool 

Just cause you shooting that stuff in your arm 

I seen you nodding
