Lyrics:

My new purple shoes, bin' amazin' the people next doorAnd my rock 'n roll 45's, bin' enragin' the folks on the lower floorI got a way with girls on my blockTry my best be a real individualAnd when we go down to Smokies and rockThey line up like it's some kinda ritualOh give me a good guitar, and you can say that my hair's a disgraceOr, just give me an open car, I'll make the speed of light outta this place[Tenement Funster lyrics on http://www.elyricsworld.com]I like the good things in lifeBut most of the best things ain't freeAnd this same situation, just cuts like a knifeWhen you're young, and you're poor, and you're crazyBut oh, give me a good guitar, and you can say that my hair's a disgraceOr, just give me an open car, I'll make the speed of light outta this place
