Not A Dime To Drop

Hit your knees and freeze if you can
Looking up must make you feel like half a man
Try to play in tune, but the song and dance is ruined
What's the bright idea? Can't you get a real career?
It's no use trying to call bluff
And there ain't no use in you wiggling the cuffs
As plain as it can be, a dog's eye view is all there is to see
A sinking feeling sets in
No defense and not a dime to drop
Can't pick up a phone and call off the cops
Now you're got time on your hands
From such a big shot to half a man
