lyrics

Oh, where have you been Peggy May?
Who did you screw for tips today?
Or did you end up in a car?
Or did you really touch the stars?

Way back when you were just a child
Your tantrums threw you to the side
Picking breadcrumbs off the floor
Never asking for some more
And here you are, back at the door

[chorus]
Collecting favors form your folks
There’s really nothing left to talk
“Just give me cash, and I’ll be out”
The neighbors’ watching … I’ll won’t shout…
(The neighbors’ watching … I’ll be nice …)

With cash, your conscious seems so clear
loosing all sense of pain and fear
You choose your victims swiftly
“Come-on mister, wanna feel me?”

[chorus]
(Still, you’re) collecting …

[bridge]
But when they sweep the streets clean
With their big white cleansing machines
Will they show you mercy
Or will they be so keen?
On wiping you out
Along with their sins?

So Peggy May, if I hereby may
Do you right for just a single day
For you indeed robbed me poor
And dragged me through mud and gore

But I still love you, Peggy May
And for your soul at night I pray
To be redeemed out of the curse
For your mind to be nursed

[chorus]
Collecting favors form your folks
There’s really nothing left to talk
“Just give me cash, and I’ll be out”
The neighbors’ watching … I’ll won’t shout…
(The neighbors’ watching … I’ll be nice …)
