Got a fine for coke can vandalism,

In Grocery Right

I'd pick up a coke, and yank off the tab

But the can would stay sealed up tight

I told the judge I was framed,

I pleaded insane, and clepto too

He took one look at me, said sarcastically,

"Huh, me easy on you?"

CHORUS:
Fines, fines, always getting fined
Tickets for parking, for standing in lines
Can't smoke, piss, or sleep
Always paying fines

Got a fine for not paying income taxes . . .

By the deadline

Said I was sorry, I got no more cash, Hey!

Maybe next time

He asked me why I didn't pay

Said he'd take all that I got

I just stood ther and looked him in the eye

And I just said, "I forgot!"

CHORUS

It's bogus, man; life ain't cheap
If you don't have a wallet, you're living in the streets
You can't park here
You can't speed
You ain't supposed to fish here

Got a fine for going backwards through the drive-thru at Burger King

HUH!?

Got a fine for speeding in my hometown

90 in a fifteen zone

Cop pulled me over and walked around to my car

We were the only ones on the road

Then he gave me a slip of paper

And he told me to pay the damn fine

I tore it up and threw it at his feet

Now I'm in jail, doin' time

CHORUS
