I'm a slave to my belly, 'cause I've got to be fed

Every morning, well, it lifts me out of bed

Says, "Go to work for me, baby, buy me some bread and some wine"

My belly don't like me to be playing guitar all the time



So I'm on the train all the way to town

I sell my day right away to town



I'm a slave to my body, 'cause I've got to be dressed

It tells me it don't like my taste, though I try my best

"Bring me home some silk pants I can wear tonight"

I say, "Hey, I don't make that much, give me a break, all right?"



So I'm on the train all the way to town

I sell my day right away to town



I'm a slave to my two feet, 'cause they want to come home

They want to come upstairs and rest their little bones

"Love the floor that we walk on, love this house that you own"

And I don't have the heart to tell them that I don't



So I'm on the train all the way to town

I sell my day right away to town
