I walked to NY and back from LA
                                      
I lived on a mountain and once by the bay
                                          
i bought an apartment and I've slept in the hay
            
but theres no place thats softer than...

                                      
the living today is just getting so bad
                                                
theres a look on your face and it says youve been had
                                               
you can take all my money but just dont make me mad
              
cause theres nobody meaner than...

I pray to buddha to allah and jim
                                      
I turned to jesus and stayed there with him
                                   
i barely live but i learned how to swim
            
now theres nobody cleaner than me or than him.
