Marginalized Lyrics

Gourds Marginalized

Marginalized by Gourds, The

(Jimmy Smith)

saw this magnanimous bottom feeder look up at me

thought pond scum sucked ‘til i had a bowl of rat soup inside of me

well, it’s pretty good said this cat named Sneezeguard

couldn’t ever crowd his pan always got a proper sear on

just to find out that easily led could actually steer one

a little more punch to wash this down

a little more frequency in our round

in the heat on an island garbage all around me

had the entire off ramp ‘til the Diaz brothers found me

i drained me a few made me my day’s worth

topped off my cart i’m rolling for the can bank

yeah to make a better haul left my cardboard sign blank

little more coin for my cans today

little less load on my case today

now i’m taking it home out on my tectonic plates

crashed in a pyramid and claimed squatters rights

shared a tomb with a fella wouldn’t shut up ‘bout a girl named Isis

had to blend with tourists when they came in the a.m.

relocated to the new wing absconding with my hot plate

little more time marginalized

a little less stink in everybody’s eye
