Kevin Mileski: Listen/Look
All Seriousness Aside

I have some friends who live in New Orleans
Make their money playing on the street
A big old box and a big old hurricane
Guaranteed to numb all your pain
I met a man who played a standup base
Purple washbin and purple face
He stared at me telling all his lies
He said, "Just listen once...or twice."
All seriousness aside
I've been richer than Trump
I've been happier inside being labeled as a bum
I only asked you for a dime or two
so I can buy a BMW.
You sit there staring feeling oh so bad
Tell me, brother, does he look that bad?
They followed him home and found all his stash
and one million dollars in cash
All seriousness aside
won't you read between the lines
and pardon my "brother" and open up your eyes
I only asked you for a dime or two
So I can buy a BMW
