Only a Roach

In a car, going home, getting wasted

Some cat stops and starts to make a crime

He said : 'Son, I'm afraid I must bust you'

'For getting spaced I just must waste your time'

Only a roach

Won't keep us from crossing no ocean ?

So they hounded us down to the station

And said just how sorry they were

And they spoke of the good in just drinking

And drinking's all they're good for

I said ..

Only a roach

Won't keep us from crossing no ocean ?

And the judge, well he just would not listen

But then listening ain't what he's paid for

'Cause he's paid for just gettin' his ass sore

Forever and ever more

Said : 'You pay through the nose'

'For counsul and the clothes that you wore'

Ah, keep playing

Only a roach

Won't keep us from crossing no ocean ?

I said ..

Only a roach

Won't keep us from crossing no ocean ?
