COUPLE DAYS PAY DOESN'T WORK SO GOOD
TRYIN TO MAKE A NAME ROUND THIS NEIGHBOR HOOD
SAY IT'S MY OWN DAMNED FAULT FOR BURNIN DOWN THAT STORE
BUT WHY SELL GASOLINE NO ONE CAN AFFORD
CAN'T GO HOME, LOST MY ROOF AND MY BED
TOLD THE LANDLORDS WIFE WE WE ONLY FRIENDS
SHE DIDN'T LIKE THAT, NO SIR-EEE
SHE KEPT ALL MY DEPOSITE AND MY NEW TV
ALL GOODBOOK THUMPERS KNOW WHAT THE DEVILS EAT
BOTTOM FEEDERS, BOTTOM FEEDERS, BOTTOM FEEDERS
THINK I'LL MOVE ON IN A COUPLE OF YEARS
BUT, HEY WAIT, I'M THINKIN THEY STILL NEED ME HERE
SOMEONE ELSE CAN TEACH EM' RIGHT FROM WRONG
WHILE I PLAY THIS GUITAR SINGIN' BOTTOM FEEDER SONGS
ALL GOODBOOK THUMPERS KNOW WHAT THE DEVILS EAT
BOTTOM FEEDERS, BOTTOM FEEDERS, BOTTOM FEEDERS
KEEP A PIECE IN MY WAISTCOAT 'CASE THE SKYS NOT SUNNY
SURE ARE SOME STRANGE FOLKS CAN'T WAIT TO DONATE MONEY TO THOSE
BOTTOM FEEDERS, TRUE BELIEVERS, BIG DECEIVERS, WEAR POWER TIES,
HAVE BEADY EYE'S AND SMOKE CIGARS IN THE BACK ROOM
BUT I FORGIVE THEM, LORD BLESS THEIR SOULS
