Absent Minded

bate and switch for the homeless( the poverty of conspiarcy)

This is for the homeless
the ones who dont know how the world truly works
a con for those who need to pull thorugh
its called the bait and switch
and this is from me to you

can you sell me teo smokes for a dollar?
they pull out a pack of smokes
and they go to hand you two....
dude, this is my last dollar, can i have three?
Sure! here you go....

Bait and switch

Youre at the store, they hand you a dollar and some change
you put the dollar in your pocket
and a quarter,,,,,
hand them the change after you purchase something
and then they give you the dolloar or
whatever small amount of money
you siad they were short
and then you go to another store
and buy something

after you get good at the bate and switch con
you start buying and selling cigarettes
3 for a dollar and selling them for 50 cents each
walking into twelve stored every two hours
and earning twelve dollars with the bate and switch

The bate and switch
make it your gift
what do you care if some bum
buys something and you end up giving him a 68 cent discount?
the bate and switch

a conspiracy
to help the homeless
in every day lives
to get out of the gutter
and playing bate and switch is their job
until they get one

bate and switch to pay your bills
bate and switch to eat
bate and switch rhe drive thru

shortchange the bate and switch and the cult of the
government abusing tax payers money
sending us off to wars
not paying for healthcare wins
so bate and switch
sink or swim
but look out for the little guy and help him bate and switch

slide vegas slide
like the city of angels uninvited
slide and teach them how
how to bate and switch
