Lyrics Back on the Street - Utopia
They
tell
me
I've
paid
back
the
debt
I
owed
Forty-four
months
since
the
slammer
door
closed
They
give
me
a
suit
and
put
me
back
on
the
road
And
my
thoughts
are
racing
Where
do
I
go?
What
am
I
supposed
to
live
on?
What
happens
when
the
twenty-five
dollars
is
gone?
That
leaves
me
lots
of
time
to
wonder
why
I
was
born
But
the
countdown
is
on
Everybody's
dancing
The
music
sounds
entrancing
but
you
can't
find
the
beat
It's
the
ticking
of
a
thousand
human
time
bombs
Who
are
back
on
the
street
Oh
the
names
have
been
changed
but
the
story's
the
same
History
will
repeat
Add
it
all
up
and
then
divide
it
by
zero
'Cause
you're
back
on
the
street
I
can't
stand
the
strain
of
this
job
no
more
I
must
have
forgot
what
I
took
it
on
for
I
make
lots
of
money,
yet
still
I
want
more
And
my
head
is
blazing
I
think
that
I'll
check
out
the
shops
downtown
Sometimes
it
helps
to
buy
things
when
I
feel
brought
down
At
this
hour
I
might
dodge
those
hippie
low-life's
around
But
the
countdown
is
on
Once
you
had
to
stand
out
looking
for
a
handout
Free
love
and
body
heat
And
that
money's
just
a
crumpled
green
ball
in
your
pocket
When
you're
back
on
the
street
Oh
the
names
have
been
changed
but
the
story's
the
same
History
will
repeat
Add
it
all
up
and
then
divide
it
by
zero
'Cause
you're
back
on
the
street
Back
on
the
street
again
Said,
"You're
back
on
the
street
again"
The
countdown
is
on
And
nobody
knows
when
Spreading
like
a
cancer
Looking
for
the
answer
in
everyone
you
meet
And
each
in
his
way
has
a
hustle
to
play
When
he's
back
on
the
street
Oh
the
names
have
been
changed
but
the
story's
the
same
History
will
repeat
Add
it
all
up
and
then
divide
it
by
zero
'Cause
you're
back
on
the
street
Back
on
the
street
again
Said,
"You're
back
on
the
street
again"
The
countdown
is
on
And
nobody
knows
when
