I'M A CASE

I'M A CASE

I ain't no professional
Empty suit
No cool pro
In shiny new boots
My boots scuffed up
On a rocky road
I paid my dues
For hauling my load
I cut my teeth
On my bug-bear's bones
And come too far
To stop short now

I'm a bonified eccentric
Of the human race
An individual
An angular face
I'll win no beauty contest
But I'll take first place
For refusing to run
In the gaddamn race
And I'm in your face

'cause I'm a case

So, I'm a single example
A set of facts
In a court of law
For the way I act
A case of mistaken
Identity
In any case
I'm a case of me

I'm a case of hangin'
In the outer spaces
A case of hangin' out
In the wrong kinda places
A case of being born
On a planet called Earth
A case of growing up
For what I am worth
And I'm in your face

'cause I'm a case

I got a need as long as the world is old
So I'm diggin' around down under the folds
Comin' up with stuff that I can hold
Evidence from my briefcase

I'm a case

I'm a man with a purpose
I'm suppose to live
With a feeling inside me
A will to give
I ain't wastin' my time
Don't hurry-up and wait
I ain't fishin' for nothin'
This ain't fish bait

It's too late for excuses
I'm making the show
You say "man you've lost it"
Well, I don't know
I've got an ace in the hole
'cause I got a bad case
Of rock n roll
And I'm in your face

'cause I'm a case
