Bad Veins

VERSE 1
G minorGm     Bb majorBb     G minorGm
I don't have matching socks
G minorGm     Bb majorBb      G minorGm
I don't have a door that locks
G minorGm     Bb majorBb
I live in cardboard box
G minorGm            Bb majorBb
Sell a pint of blood for fifteen bucks
G minorGm          Bb majorBb      G minorGm
That's how a bum like me can get a drink

When the monsoon season came I escaped the rain
I hitched a ride on a railroad train
Well I went into that Illinois blood bank
Doctor said, “Son you've got bad veins”
Now, how's a bum like me gonna get a drink?

It's like a brain surgeon who's gone insane
A augmentedA one eyed assassin with bad aim
How in the hell is a bum like me supposed to get a drink
When the doctor says, “Son you've got bad veins”

CHORUS
G minorGm          Bb majorBb
You've got bad veins (You've got bad veins)

VERSE 2
Well I know my old veins may not be the best
You can slit my wrist over a bucket leave me the excess
I don't care if you stick a sump pump right through my chest
Give me the money I'll clean up the mess
And then a bum like me can get a drink

It's like a porn queen dying of AIDS
A augmentedA Romeo telling Juliet he's gay
How in the hell is a bum like me supposed to get a drink
When the doctor says, “Son you've got bad veins”

VERSE 3
Now I'm broke and sober and I feel the pain
Of all the blood returning to my brain
My blood alcohol content is normal again
Good blood flowing through bad veins
But how's a bum like me gonna get a drink

It's like all of Jesus' disciples cursing his name
All except for Judas who holds his head in shame
How in the hell is a bum like me supposed to get a drink
When the doctor says, “Son you've got bad veins”
