Jackson Browne & David Lindley El Rayo X lyrics

There's a quarter of a man in the market
With a quarter of a car so it's easy to park it
He gets to the counter, he saves what he can
But he only saves a quarter, he's a quarter of a man

Now this quarter of a man, he got fired
The next damn day, he got hired, hired
The only thing wrong with this plan
He only gets a quarter, he's a quarter of man

Every day he's on the street
Too few quarters to live or to eat
He's so little, the people all stare
But he only pays a quarter fare, oh


Now the quarter of a man's on vacation
But he still gets his ration
When he gets to the market he pays what he can
But he only pays a quarter, he's a quarter of a man

Every day he's on the street
Too few quarters to live or to eat
He's so little, the people all stare
But he only pays a quarter fare, oh
