Lyrics
Did you ask that man
Asking a man on the corner a question.
On the corner for the time of day
Inquiring about the time of day from the man.
Did he shrug and glance at his wrist and say
The man may not know the time and gestures indifference.
"Dunno, here you go"
The man hands over a worthless, deceptive watch.
And hand you a fool's gold watch
Receiving a deceptive or fake gift.

But by God you tell me
