chords - the dude lyrics

[intro]
when the curtains close
the people go home and the lights get low
i slip into my coat and venture into the unknown
i walk a lonely road
where people duck down when the cold winds blow
and no one seems to know
the folks that they p-ss as they go

[hook]
maybe i’m the truth, maybe i’m a cheat
maybe i’m that dude that you saw on the street
standing in a waiting line, maybe i’m just wasting time
maybe i’m a sinner, maybe i’m a saint
maybe i’m that dude that you saw down the way
standing in a waiting line, maybe i’m just wasting time

[verse 1]
sometimes its like this city is a beast
looking up from down below, when i’m walking on the streets
and the people that i meet, never look me in the eye
they’re too busy with the bills and they lack the nine to fives
i just crack a little smile, tip my hat and then i p-ss
been practicing a while, i’m a master at the craft
and i’m guessing so are you, but it doesn’t make a difference
the city got us cramped up and the city makes us distant
just another misfit, robbed of his ambition
falling off the radar, drifting off into the distance
always on some mission, always searching for a purpose
whatever he does, feel like he’s scratching on the surface

[bridge]
he just keeps trying
trying to squeeze a diamond from a lump of coal
people walking by him
stare out at the silence cause they don’t know

[hook]

[verse 2]
so in my solitude i sit, just like lady day once sat
and the bit is in the place, where my baby-face was at
looking back on all the days, through my aviator frames
all the characters are different, but the play remains the same
ain’t it strange, like my brother daniel taught me
we’re all born originals, but end up like copies
and all of the monotony got me feeling kind of stream lined
just another drone, buzz-buzzing in the bee hive
working for a queen who is getting senile
treating everyone like sh-t and expecting a free ride
from all us little average joes, soldiers of the status quo
living in the shadow of a city full of bad, it’s so

[bridge + hook]
